I’m taking my first international trip to the Philippines next month and I’m confused on what kind of adapter I need. I found this Site Plugs A and B look similar to those used in north america. I’m only bringing my phone, tablet, and steam deck. I read that I don’t need a transformer for those devices but I’ll still need an adapter. I was hoping someone could link me the right adapter I need. I tried looking on amazon but I don’t really trust the reviews on there anymore.
EDIT: for more context, my steam deck power adapter says. Input: 100-240v 1.2a 50-60hz. From my ubderstanfing, I won’t need a transformer for my steam deck but just an adapter. Someone posted This which seems like all I need.
Thanks!
As an Australian who has travelled a bit I would recommend something like this.

Any wall socket to any plug you have. I would also recommend taking a power board with you so you can charge your phone and steam deck at the same time.
I was going to say the same thing. But you should get one with USB ports built in. That way you can use a plug and use the USB charging.
Test it at home. Years ago I had one that nearly burnt the room down when someone charged their phone at the same time as me. 1 was fine.
If you are from north America you will need 120v-240v transformer

My steam deck charger says the input can handle up to 240 and 50-60 frequency
I’d google it be sure but if it say 120v - 240v not 120/240v, cuz that’s different, you should be fine
Edit:clarity
That being said is steamdeck is 120v - 240v that’s pretty sweet
Edit2: see above
Types A and B are the majority of sockets so most US plugs will work. If your devices have the grounding plug (type B), you can buy a universal travel adapter that has virtually all the plug type configurations. As you already mentioned, most portable devices nowadays can handle up to 220v so you don’t need a transformer.
Thanks for the response, I will just buy a universal adapter and call it good!
