I think this is a bargain for a five pack Micro USB leads!!!! UGreen cables are not your flimsy cables after a couple of uses start falling to bits. These feel more like a premium build for the price that you are paying.
The cables are in various sizes so would suit multiple uses; I.E tablet. Mobile phones, PC
High Speed Charge & Sync:
Micro USB 2.0 cable Syncs and charges your portable digital devices simultaneously,such as Samsung Galaxy,Google Nexus,smartphones,hard drives,printers by connecting to your PC or Laptop at speed up to 480Mbps,or charge your devices through USB wall chargers
I have seen the following discount code for single package and 3pcs items code = ERBPPZP2 for 50% off.

It's listed as a 28AWG cable, so very basic cables with a thicker skin.
You really need 28/24AWG minimum (28AWG for data, 24AWG for power) for modern devices when charging. This is how almost all OEM (LG, HTC etc...) cables are. Samsung are 24AWG for all lines now (lower AWG = thicker cable). You can not use features like QuickCharge with cheaper cables - you *must* have higher AWG cables. The charger will auto detect this and change accordingly. You can use an app called "ampere" to check your charge rate if you think it's slow.
Don't get me wrong, it looks like they are constructed well, but if they truly are 28AWG as they say, then you won't get the fastest charging speeds out of them if you have anything from the last few years.
That to one side, it's still a great price for data cables alone.
I just wanted to add that lots of cables on Amazon are utter rubbish. The reason people spend a bit more on Anker (and a few others) is because it really makes a difference when charging on recent devices. Newer devices that are USB3/ USB-C also require the cable to be of a higher quality than the USB2 tat that has been churned out for years.
Just because the cable has nice brading and 'feels' well constructed, unless it's using a good AWG cable internally, it really counts for little. Of course, this is what costs!

Nice. Ordered 2x pack of 3 with that discount code. Prefer shorter leads as the long ones always seem to cause me issues getting things to charge... etc.
