Powering Raspberry Pi 4 With OnePlus Charger 5V 4A

Question

I´m planning on buying Raspberry Pi 4 and i don't want to waste money on a charger if the one that I have for my phone technically works.

I can save a few bucks for buying the case alone. I don't use it because I don't want to lower the phone battery life so I use an original Samsung 2A charger.

I heard that not all chargers works well with RPI 4

Any device that supplies 4 amps at 5 volts will work to power the Pi4B.

But if it uses a 'smart' USB-C cable it may well not work. – Michael Harvey Aug 31 '19 at 18:52
See https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/07/raspberry-pi-4-uses-incorrect-usb-c-design-wont-work-with-some-chargers/ for information regarding non-compliant USB-C power in the Pi 4. – marc-medley Dec 29 '19 at 00:34
Pi 4 Revision 1.2 fixed the USB-C non-spec power problem. Released around Feb 2020. See "How to Check if Your Raspberry Pi 4 Model B is Rev1.2?" on tutorial.cytron.io – marc-medley Feb 21 '21 at 02:36
