When you say original do you mean fast chargers or the one that will last you for years?

For fast charger I usually go with my phone, plug it and see how fast it will charge within some minutes.

Go to an authorized phone dealer and ask for an original charger. It is costly and can buy a small Torch light phone. Slot and Co will help you out

Save yourself the stress and buy new age chargers or oraimo, both fast and long lasting. For fast charger always look at the output to ensure it’s 2A, my opinion sha

After the 2A, The next thing to look out for is the USB cable, ensure it is made with Copper wire or you can view the copper at the tip (kind of Gold in colour) as against Aluminium wire (silver in colour)

I don't think there are original chargers out there. When you hear them say 'original charger', what they mean is fast charger.

There is one of way of getting original charger, and it's the second hand type.

You can get the second hand one from those people that fix phones, that is if you're lucky because it's usually rare. And if they have, it's usually expansive.

But then there is one way of getting one that is almost close to your original.

Check for your charger's output current and voltage. Let's say yours is rated 5V @ 2A.
Go to the market with this rating and buy one that is the same as the rating.

The 5V should be constant, and the current can be above 2A but not less.

If you try the above and you're still experiencing the same thing, then you'll have to change your USB cable. Look for one that is not too long. It is advisable you make use of data cable. For me, the USB cable that comes with Oraimo power bank is best.

Again, if the above fails, then you will have to change your down-panel. This is a board inside your phone that is responsible for charging your battery. It could be that the regulator in that part is faulty. So you change the down-panel.

I think it costs like 1k.
