Samsung may ship Galaxy S21 without a charger or earphones

27 October 2020
The potential change is being discussed internally.

Is it legal in europe? Can you sell a product without a proper way for charging it?

    I don't want to be the one to say "I told you so".
    But, I told you so.

    Is where the industry is going right now. And in couple of years, will be also no ports on the smartphones. Is just that some people are finding more difficult to adapt with the situation.

    The bad part, is not that this things will be missing. The bad part is how the companies lie about doing it for the environment, when in reality they are doing it for profit only. They keep the same price on their phones, but they will sell you all this accessories (no matter what kind of accessories), separately.

    That's why I do not trust any of these companies anymore. Or their products.

        Hanif Fikri, 27 Oct 2020Hope Chinese brand like Xiaomi and Realme wont follow this route.They followed the trend with remove of the headphone jack, in most of their phones. So they can sell their wireless earphones. The same happaned with remove of the microSD slot in higher end models. You want more internal storage? Buy the model, that will cost you another 40-100$ more than the base version...
        Removing chargers would bring them the same benefits -> $$$.

          So Samsung just started to follow apple style. Great, who is next to follow this style? Next popular brands are Xiaomi, oppo and Huawei. So guys this is going to be the trend in 2021. Better to prepare to buy charger and earphones along with the phones. Good luck

              Apple continues ruining the modern technology world with its horrible ideas.

                Hope Chinese brand like Xiaomi and Realme wont follow this route.

                  Huawei has included a 66w charger in the box along with condom case and earphones and these Scammers want to loot us n become trillion dollar companies. My foot. I wish they go downhill.. n just hope that these Chinese companies won't follow their footsteps.
                  I've chargers with USB-A to C port n new phones hv usb type c to c cable.. how can I use that charger with it??

                    So unnessecary trend is going on here.
                    Android is different than iPhone.
                    Their charger different from phone to phones.
                    If go green is what they think, they should invest their money to reduce plastic waste on the planet. Not by lie to their potential users.

"... moreIm pretty sure you are talking about american prices only which they are the only ones they mention in the presentation after all but if you see other countries pricing its completely unfair at launch.
                      Also for apple buying those independently is 40$ us, but considering the prices of the last years 128gb models its 100$ cheaper (not including anything about the completely insane pricing of last year)
                      Sure it's a good offer, but what about the normal 12 and 12 mini? Their prices went up because of the oleds i know but i think they are still way too high for what they offer in my opinion.

                          This is stupidity of heights level. They want to protect the nature like Apple's claims 🙄🙄

                                Sell phone and box separately as well please. Take the screen away too, everyone has old phone displays at home, right?

                                  [deleted post] You know that they aren't paid to do the reviews if they did they would mention it for example the infinix review from mkbhd.
                                  Also you have no proof so pls dont spread stuff like that.

                                        Do you think oneplus nord is a 2020 flagship ? NO
                                        do you think PIXEL 5 is a flagship with the same imx 363 the same as 2018 pixel 3 and a cheap 400€ xiaomi mi 8 flagship
                                        It doesn't have 2020 flagship camera hardware or flagship soc or flagship display or flagship build, it is just a super overpriced midrange, 400€ is MAX for the pixel 5, for 500€ I can buy the mi 10
