Found metal weight inside
It's definitely cheaply built. There is no RFI filtering and they used a resistor as a fuse. At least it appears to have a decent amount of separation between the high and low voltage sides though.

Absolutely is, no doubt about it
Did it cost an unreasonably small amount?
Why did you take it apart?
30$, it's dead that's why I took it apart
Can't find a teardown of that 60W charger, but it looks nothing like some of the Samsung ones posted in the teardowns here: https://www.chargerlab.com/
I've never seen a premium brand charger that wasn't absolutely stuffed with components on one side. They're always trying to shrink them, and all that real estate on the board is wasted.
Isn't that a heat sink?
No, there's foam under it
Heavier = good ?
Free perceived value weight 👍
Foam, or a heat conductive pad?
Normal tape foam
Interesting.
