A European Common phone charger has been launched on Tuesday by European Commissioner Antonio Tajani, and Bridget Cosgrave, Director General of Digital Europe. The universal charger is supported by 14 European phone manufacturers, who have agreed to standardize their connections to allow one charger to fit all devices.

  • The mini USB is great more durable than other cable connections and like they say the 5v connection is universal.

  • The ultra new and revolutionary charger is ... the micro usb that existed for a long time lol :)

  • What's depressing about this is that it is probably the best thing the EU has done in its 40 year existence.

  • 10 years to late.. i have like 50 chargers laying around here :D and i dont even have a GSM ..wtf !?
