I am bringing my Philips beard trimmer from India to USA.

Will the charger of the trimmer work in USA with an Universal Plug ???

Or is some voltage conversion plug with a transformer required ??

The input voltage rating of my charger is 100-240 V 50/60 hz 9w

Also I'm bringing my samsung galaxy S6802 phone.

Will my Indian charger work in USA with the universal plug ???


Rating of my phone charger: Input: 150-300vAC 50-60HZ 0.15A

Or is some step up/ step down transformer plug required for this one too??

The trimmer will work if you buy an adapter for the plug before you leave, it will be really hard to find here. Our outlets are not the same, but we run 110-120 volts AC which is within your range. For the phone you may have a problem. No outlets are 150VAC, we have 220 but that is very limited in availability, used only for stoves, clothes dryers and large power tools, and there is not likely to be any plug adapter made for it since they are about 2" in diameter.

110


220

You can buy a universal charger, plugs into standard wall outlet here and they can be set to whatever voltage is required by the device. Just be sure to check it has sufficient amperage at whatever voltages you need.

If both say 110-240v 50/60 cycle then buy one of these:

Go into any electrical shop in India and it should be around Rs 15.

Either will work

What does the plug on the phone look like ?
If you are lucky, and it is a USB type plug you can buy any charger here that has a USB type system.
Just make sure the plug fits your phone !!
Check what the output of the charger is, you have now.

Samsung connectors on the base of all phones are the same. So he would just purchase a generic 2.1A charger for the S3 and it will work and charge quicker.
