| Flipkart SmartBuy USB Type C, 10 A, 1 m, 100W SuperVOOC | Rs. 192 | Rs. 1,899 | 90% | 9.9x | 3.9 | 39,428 |

| Flipkart SmartBuy USB Type C, 3 A, 1 m, 20W | Rs. 151 | Rs. 999 | 85% | 6.6x | 3.9 | 872 |
Twelve listings in this whole read state exactly Rs. 1,899, and every one of them is a Flipkart SmartBuy cable. They sell for Rs. 191 to Rs. 230 — so a single reference figure, roughly nine to ten times the selling price, generates the 88% and 90% badges across the range.
The first two rows are the same rating count: 39,428. Those are two separate listings with different titles, the same Rs. 192 price, the same Rs. 1,899 MRP, the same 3.9 stars and the same count. Listing the same stock under more than one title is ordinary marketplace practice and we allege nothing improper — but it does mean a results page showing two options may be showing one. We report the published figures and the arithmetic between them; nothing here asserts that any stated MRP is false, and nothing alleges wrongdoing by Flipkart or by any brand or seller named.
The phone and audio brands state much lower MRPs
| Listing | Price | Stated MRP | Badge | Stated MRP as a multiple of price | Stars | Ratings |

| Xiaomi by Mi USB Type C, 3 A, 1 m, aluminium foil | Rs. 219 | Rs. 299 | 27% | 1.4x | 4.3 | 29,145 |

Read the badge column and the rating column together and the shelf turns upside down. The two listings with the most ratings on it — a Rs. 99 boAt cable with 80,861 and a Rs. 199 Portronics with 56,013 — badge 80% and 72%. The Rs. 219 Xiaomi with 29,145 ratings badges 27%, the shallowest in this table, because its stated MRP is Rs. 299 rather than Rs. 1,899.
And the cheapest cable in the entire read is the most-rated one. boAt's A320 at Rs. 99, 4.2 stars across 80,861 ratings, is Rs. 52 cheaper than the cheapest SmartBuy listing and Rs. 93 cheaper than the 90%-badged ones. Three listings in this table carry no rating at all, including one badged 80%.
Cable wattage and amperage are the listings' own claims and were not tested here. "100W", "10 A", "SuperVOOC", "DASH", "SuperDart" and "Super Fast" appear on tiles in this read; nothing was bought, plugged in or measured. A cable's real current-carrying capacity, its conductor gauge and its e-marker chip are not visible from a search result, and a charging cable that cannot carry the current it claims is a genuine safety matter. Buy to your own device maker's specification.
Check the stated MRP before the badge, and check the rating count before either. On this shelf the 90% badges all come off one figure, Rs. 1,899, that twelve listings share. The two most-rated cables here cost Rs. 99 and Rs. 199 and badge 80% and 72%. Eighty-five of the 157 distinct listings carry no rating at all, so a shelf that looks a hundred deep has far fewer listings with any published evidence behind them.
Four checks before buying a charging cable on Flipkart
One: divide the stated MRP by the price. On this shelf the answer is 9.9 for the SmartBuy listings and 1.4 for Xiaomi's most-rated cable. Two: look for a repeated round MRP — Rs. 999 covers 32 listings here and Rs. 599 covers 28. Three: read the rating count, because 85 of 157 listings have none and several of the deepest badges sit on those.
Four: match the cable to your charger, not to the badge. Wattage, amperage and fast-charge protocol names are the listing's claims and were not verified here — nothing was bought, plugged in or measured. Check your device maker's own stated requirement and buy to that. Prices change without notice — check the live listing before buying.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a USB Type C cable cost on Flipkart in October 2026?
Across 157 distinct listings read on 29 October 2026 (from 202 search results), prices ran Rs. 99 to Rs. 698 with a median of Rs. 195 and the discount badge ran 19% to 90%, median 71%. The cheapest listing in the read is a boAt A320 at Rs. 99, which is also the most-rated cable on the shelf at 80,861 ratings.
Why do Flipkart SmartBuy cables show 90% off?
Because of the MRP those listings state. Twelve listings in this read state exactly Rs. 1,899, every one of them a Flipkart SmartBuy cable, and they sell for Rs. 191 to Rs. 230 — a reference figure roughly nine to ten times the selling price. All fifteen SmartBuy listings badge 85%, 88% or 90% and nothing else. Pricing a range against one shared round figure is ordinary retail practice, reported here as published fact; nothing here asserts that any stated MRP is false or improper, and nothing alleges wrongdoing by Flipkart.
Which USB cable brand has the most ratings on Flipkart?
boAt, on this read. Its A320 Type C cable at Rs. 99 carries 80,861 ratings at 4.2 stars, the highest count on the shelf. Portronics's Konnect L at Rs. 199 carries 56,013 at 4.2, two Flipkart SmartBuy listings share 39,428 at 3.9, and Xiaomi's Rs. 219 cable carries 29,145 at 4.3. Eighty-five of the 157 distinct listings carry no rating at all. Rating counts are reported as published and are not evidence of product quality in either direction.
Why does the same Flipkart cable appear twice in search results?
Because the same stock is listed under more than one title, and the rating count gives it away. Two Flipkart SmartBuy listings in this read carry different titles but the same Rs. 192 price, the same Rs. 1,899 MRP, the same 90% badge, the same 3.9 stars and the same 39,428 ratings. Across the whole read, 202 search results reduced to 157 distinct listings. This is ordinary marketplace practice and we allege nothing improper; the practical effect is that a results page shows fewer products than it appears to.
Is a Rs. 99 cable safe to fast-charge a phone with?
This page cannot answer that — nothing in this read was bought, plugged in or measured, and no claim is made about conductor gauge, current-carrying capacity, e-marker chips, real wattage, heat, durability or electrical safety. "100W", "10 A", "SuperVOOC", "DASH" and "Super Fast" are the listings' own words, reproduced and not verified. A cable that cannot carry the current it claims is a genuine safety matter: check your device manufacturer's own stated cable requirement and buy to that specification rather than to the badge.
Prices & codes last verified: October 29, 2026
Every selling price, stated MRP, discount badge, star average and rating count on this page was read from flipkart.com's own search results on 29 October 2026, logged out, from India, with nothing bought. Nothing was purchased, delivered, unboxed, plugged in, charged with or measured, and no claim is made about conductor gauge or material, current-carrying capacity, real wattage, e-marker chips, data transfer speed, heat under load, cable or connector durability, or the electrical safety of any product. "100W", "10 A", "SuperVOOC", "VOOC", "DASH", "DART", "SuperDart", "Super Fast" and "High Quality" are the listings' own marketing words and claims, reproduced as published text and not verified, endorsed or tested by us. A charging cable that cannot carry the current it claims is a genuine safety matter: buy to your own device manufacturer's stated specification. A stated MRP is the figure each listing prints; we report it and compute multiples and badges from it, but nothing here asserts that any such figure is false or improper, and nothing alleges wrongdoing by Flipkart or by any brand or seller named. Pricing a range of listings against one shared round reference figure, and listing the same stock under more than one title, are both ordinary marketplace practice, reported here as published fact; where two listings share a price, an MRP, a badge, a star average and a rating count we state that the published numbers match without claiming the goods are the same item. Brand-level figures are our own arithmetic over the listings this read returned for that brand — between one and fifteen listings each — and are not a statement about that brand's pricing generally or its catalogue beyond this read. Cables of different lengths, current ratings and connector types are not direct substitutes for one another. Star averages and rating counts are reported as published, are not evidence of product quality in either direction, and 85 of the 157 distinct listings carry none at all. The 202 search results were reached by Flipkart's own search and are not a census of what Flipkart sells — results vary by query, ranking, login state, pin code and time of day. Prices change without notice — check the live listing before buying. Zoutons may earn a commission on purchases made through links on this page; this does not affect what is written above.
