Why
Use a plug adapter only after confirming that your actual input rating covers the local voltage and frequency. Match your real plug and preserve any required grounding. An adapter does not change voltage. Android and USB-C fast chargers are dual-voltage (100–240V). They work worldwide with just a plug adapter — no converter needed.
India runs 230V / 50Hz. India runs 230V at 50Hz with Type C, D and M sockets. The large round-pin Type D/M plugs are unusual abroad — a dedicated adapter is essential.
