Hi guys
Because I bought my mobile on the continent, the box came with this USB adapter: https://static-01.daraz.pk/p/a85f42aad3f8b729c44bd9d185d28491.jpg
Very awkward, as I now have to connect this thing to the mains in turn via a 2pin to 3pin adapter.
Can I not simply replace the whole assembly with a simple USB to 3pin plug, such as: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/21CQHialtzL._AC_.jpg ...?
Grateful for any wise words!

Yes, no problem.....Except it may not be a very good one. You don't say what phone you have, but, it may benefit from a faster charger than that is for a couple of quid more.Drinking Rum before 10am makes you

I would get adapter instead.
The charger come with phone is a fast charger1 -
Hi,just use the adapter you had on holiday with you.1

Do you not have any UK SUB chargers that you use for other thing, maybe a previous phone?
Those chargers may not support the quick charging of the new phone, but do you need that? If the phone lasts the day and you can plug it in for the time it take to get it to 80% then you should be fine as unplugging it at that point without fast charging is the optimal way to make the battery last.1 -
Ok so I take it that this would be ok as an option but likely to charge more slowly, have I got that right?0
