It's worth noting that for items where quality can vary factories will typically bin the output products. Better quality into the bin going to this expensive brand, worst quality goes straight to Temu, lowest quality that meets Walmart's standards goes in this bin, etc.
For anything where the silicon quality really matters you want to bear this in mind. TVs, and LEDs are the biggest ones where the silicon part makes light for you to look at and the quality can make a big difference
Edit to add: cheap no name chargers are a great way to spend several hundred dollars replacing your phone because you wanted to save $5 on a charger/cable. Personally I don't gamble with phone chargers, and you can get a good, high speed USB-PD charger for $20 now so it's really not worth the risk. Heck I got my 3 port name brand GaN USB-PD charger for $35 so the bottom is really not worth racing for now
