Uzbekistani power outlet

Complicated region codes and plug types can all be daunting when planning to travel to a different country to the first time traveller. This guide shows what you'll need to charge the Samsung Galaxy S4 when staying in Uzbekistan using their I or C type 220 volt 50Hz plug outlets. If travelling to Uzbekistan from another country please ensure the Samsung Galaxy S4 can accept a 240v supply. If it was purchased in a country which uses a lower voltage such as 120v make sure the Samsung Galaxy S4 is dual voltage (marked with a 100-240 volt notation) otherwise you may need to use an additional power transformer to stop the device from overheating when charging it.

We recommend referring to the Samsung Galaxy S4 instruction manual [2] for more details on the operation of the mobile phone and visit the Galaxy page for more phones in the Samsung Galaxy range which will connect to the Uzbekistani power outlet.

What is the best power charger for recharging a Samsung Galaxy S4 in Uzbekistan?

When you are travelling with more than just your Samsung Galaxy S4 then the best international travel power adapter for Uzbekistan to buy is a multiple USB charger which includes swappable plugs like a 4 port USB travel charger. There are two types of wall outlets in Uzbekistan (types I and C) and using a travel charger like this ensures that you are covered for type C. Because these types of chargers come with interchangeable plugs and can handle from 100 volts - 240 volts it makes them ideal for multiple countries in Europe, Asia, North America and Africa just by changing the supplied heads over. If your Samsung Galaxy S4 is compatible with Fast Charge (not all USB devices will) then you'll benefit from much faster recharging times by using one of these power chargers and additional compatibility with more power hungry devices like tablets.

Unlike other chargers having a four port charger will also allow you to charge multiple devices at once without needing to pack seperate power chargers on your trip to Uzbekistan. Because you are only packing a single lightweight USB travel charger will also keep the overall size and weight down, making it ideal to store in hand baggage. Due to their flexibility these types of adapters can be used back at home as well as abroad so when you’re not travelling they can sit overnight charging multiple phones and tablets and using just a single plug socket.

We recommend searching for a flexible power charger similar to this at an electronics retailer - the multipurpose travel adapter illustrated here is the 4 Port USB Wall Charger which has been successfully tested with multiple USB devices in numerous countries on a daily basis.
