Can I Use My Android Phone Charger in Vietnam?

Q: What plug type does Vietnam use?

Vietnam uses Type A/C sockets at 220V / 50Hz.

Your Android phone charger can work in Vietnam if its actual input rating, frequency and plug match the local supply.

Conditional compatibility

Use directly only if your actual input rating covers the local voltage and frequency and your plug fits with any required grounding. A typical category profile does not confirm your own unit.

Why

Use directly only if your actual input rating covers the local voltage and frequency and your plug fits with any required grounding. A typical category profile does not confirm your own unit. Android and USB-C fast chargers are dual-voltage (100–240V). They work worldwide with just a plug adapter — no converter needed.

Vietnam runs 220⁠V / 50⁠Hz. Vietnam runs 220V at 50Hz with sockets that commonly accept both Type A (US flat blades) and Type C (Europlug). The Type A fit is a trap: the plug goes in, but a US single-voltage device receives 220V and can overheat. Pack a Type C adapter and confirm your devices are dual-voltage.
