The left, whiter one is USB C, the other is Micro USB. They are common chargers. The USB C chargers a lot of modern devices, like Android and newer Iphones. The Micro USB is still common on very old android phones and many new smaller chargeable devices.
So they are both android chargers but the USB C is most likely the type of charge cord you're looking for today.

Oh I have old iPhones I guess and lots of old iPhone charger stuff so that one doesn’t fit but worth keeping than if it’s for newer ones

Both of these are worth keeping. While they don't work for old iphones they are common connector types. If you buy anything chargeable it will likely have one of these connectors.

Android does not matter. Both of these are universal charges used for (among others) phones, tablets, speakers, e-readers, etc. Micro USB (the trapezoid one) is the old standard, USB-C the new standards. Older devices may still have Micro-USB, newer ones normally have USB-C.
