Fourth on the retractable is the Type G plug that has the rectangular shape to the pin and comes with a third pin which works as earth (unearthed for the adapter) in the socket. Mainly used in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Malta, Malaysia & Singapore
Build Quality
The travel adapter comes with a matte black finish and high-quality heat resistant PC+ABS engineering plastics. It can withstand high-temperature heat when charging and will not deform due to the high heat that produces by electricity when charging.
The retractable need quite a small top push and it locks the plug in place solidly. Usually, when the plug is retracted, most of the plug is wobbly and may affect the user experience. But with the Glamfields travel adapter, the plug is retracted firmly and steadily, it also doesn’t wobble when plugging into the socket.
