Let me guess, you purchased power strip B at
McLowesDepotBigBoxMartWarehouseSuperstore?

If you want a power strip with high-quality receptacles, consider a
Tripp Lite Isobar.


Probably even worse than that. A power strip in the U.S. lasts many years. Here, the typical life time of a power strip is no more than one year.

But that still doesn't answer why the same charger on the same power strip can charge one phone but not the other phone of the same brand but different model.


To solve your little mystery, a technician would need to measure the output voltage of the power supply while the phone is plugged in but not charging.
