I will replace an old electrical outlet with the new Schuko wall socket. The new electrical outlet will have more sockets and two USB-A adapters. Thanks to this upgrade I will have a modern and minimalistic look electrical outlet. Schuko wall sockets are mostly used in Europe.

Good video as always. I would advise anyone undertaking job like that to check for voltage with a multimeter or a probe, even after insulating with the circuit breaker. Some old installations may not be safe.
Another issue with those built in USB chargers I have is hat they always draw power, even if they are not in use...

That German style of having sockets side by side is nice. In Finland one use s double sockets where the cables often interfere with each other.

A warning to folk connecting new sockets at home in some european countries. I live in Finland, and an person that does not have an electrical engineering degree, is only allowed to connect new switches and draw the electrical cables in the walls. Connecting the wires to the sockets is not allowed, unless the electrical system is an 12V one. I think quite a few home owners still do it here, but if there is an fire because of an malfunction of an electrical device, and the electrician that did the work on the house says that he did not install this socket, insurance companies are not obliged to pay you anything whatsoever for the damage caused by the fire.

Oh I hate these orange boxes with a passion, but I can see why you choose it because of that switch. Also to get the level I would put those screws horizontally.

Never seen a 5-long orange box before. The maximum I have seen at hardware stores (at least in Poland where I currently live) is 4 units long.

Hi i am considering to buy wall socket with USB, how reliable is USB socket charger after 2 years, does it heat up or make any noise like wineing. Is it good for charging 2 phones, my S21 takes 1, 5A. I am doughting quality of those built in chargers, but they look good. Is digitus or Logilink a good brand for these, they cost 20€

The result is terrible and dangerous... -.-
You didn't do much wrong but you kept some dangerous issues with the existing wirings.
Don't load these sockets more than 6 amps if you don't want it burn.
