Key Features to Look For:
Connector Type:
Connector One: Typically USB Type-A (the standard rectangular USB connector found on chargers and computers).
Connector Two: USB Type-C (the reversible oval-shaped connector for newer smartphones, tablets, and laptops).
Some listings might also offer Type-C to Type-C cables, especially for devices supporting Power Delivery (PD) or higher wattage charging.
Charging Capabilities:
Fast Charging Support: Many Vivo cables are designed to support various fast charging technologies, including Vivo's own FlashCharge (e.g., 10W, 15W, 18W, 44W, 66W, 80W, 120W).
Amperage (A): Look for the amperage rating (e.g., 2A, 4A, 6A, 8A). Higher amperage generally indicates faster charging capabilities.
Voltage (V): Often specified with the amperage (e.g., 5V-2A, 9V-2A, 11V-4A).
Data Transfer Speed:
USB 2.0 (480 Mbps): This is a common data transfer speed for many standard USB-C cables, sufficient for typical file transfers.
Some cables might advertise higher speeds (e.g., 600 Mbps, 680 Mbps), though these are still generally within the USB 2.0 or early USB 3.0 specifications.
For truly high-speed data transfer (like 5Gbps or 10Gbps), you'd need a cable explicitly stating support for USB 3.0, USB 3.1 Gen 1, or USB 3.1 Gen 2, which are less common for basic Vivo-branded cables on Flipkart.
Cable Length:
Common lengths include 1 meter (m), 1.1 meters, 1.2 meters, and occasionally longer options like 1.25 meters or even 100 meters (though the "100m" seems to be a typo in some listings and likely refers to 1m).
Cable Design/Durability:
Cable Type: Most are Round Cable, but some might be Flat Cable.
Material: Often made of PVC or TPE. Some third-party cables might offer Nylon Braided designs for enhanced durability and tangle-resistance.
Reinforced Connectors: Many cables feature reinforced connectors to prevent bending and wear at the stress points.
Compatibility:
Designed for Vivo smartphones (various models like V series, X series, iQOO series, Y series, Z series, etc.).
Generally compatible with all phones with a Type-C port.
Can be used with other devices like Tablets, Power Banks, Laptops, Wireless Earphones, Wired Bluetooth Earphones, Trimmers, Speakers, Gaming Consoles, Cameras, and MP3 Players that use a USB-C port for charging and data.
Other Features:
Data Sync Capability: Essential for transferring files between devices.
Quality and Durability: Many listings highlight "original-like," "certified," or "high-quality" aspects.
Warranty: Some sellers offer a 6-month or 7-day replacement warranty.
Color: Typically White, but sometimes Red or other colors might be available.
