Celero 5G

USB Type C


I am posting this request here as there is no forum for my device.

I didn't see anything in the specs for the Celero 5G phone supporting wireless charging.

I would like recommendations for a combination charging station ( USB C jack ) & speaker set.

All the devices I have seen so far use wireless charging and it looks like this phone doesn't do that.

Is there such a device that has a USB C jack?

I would like play an air conditioner recording as white noise.

I would the air conditioner recording to have the same volume and depth of sound as a real air conditioner. I want to put it in roughly the same spot as my window unit ( it is winter here, ha ha ).

Are there speakers for such devices that would have that volume and depth of sound?

If not, please recommend a good blue tooth, portable speaker.

I've read reviews for about 6 different models on Amazon there are always 2-3 people who complain about such devices failing within a year

Thanks for any help

Steve

Any charger will do, you just need a USB A to USB C lead. As for speakers, I've never had a problem with Bluetooth/USB speakers failing, but get something from a real brand name like JBL. If you can find it, the Altec Lansing T515 has Bluetooth and line-in and works on AAA batteries and has its own mains PSU. It's a fairly old model, but does turn up on EBAy/Gumtree etc.

If a docking station is advertised as being for USB C can I be sure that the jack will fit my phone?

Sorry to sound dense.

This is my first new phone in a long time.

I found a manual for the Celero 5G. It has a diagram of the phone that points to the USB jack on the bottom of the phone. It is labeled as USB C.

This is the docking station I am interested in. It is advertised as USB C

In the picture you can see there is a jack on the docking station to put the phone on. My concern is whether or not it will fit my phone ( new model, only several months old ).

My guess is THAT is a USB C jack for the USB C port on my phone.

Do I have that correct?

What is the name of the plugs on USB phone cables that are bigger that fit into computers?
