A major company like Samsung not including something simple like a charger is a slap in the face to the consumer. They would gain a lot more customers had they followed suit. As it is, they are piggybacking off of Apple's loser trend and they wonder why they are losing customers...

    People defending over apple not including chargers being environmental friendly, they include a USB C TO LIGHTNING wire, for which you will have to buy a charger with USB C that a lot of people don't have and will end up buying it, how is that eco friendly?

      That's literally embarrassing for Samsung. First, they mocked Apple for removing headphone jack and finally, Samsung followed the trend. Next, Samsung mocked Apple for ditching the power brick and it happens again

Before you defended big techs latest trick to maximize their profit, you should have asked yourself if you needed to have all the smartphones these chargers belong to. Punishing first time customers for the guilt you feel about living a wasteful life is nothing short of hypocritical.

            No charger = NO purchase = no money - wil make them reconsider their decision if sales drop. Boycott is the only way to get the charger back in the box !

                            I don't care what they say about the environment if you purchase a brand new phone you are supposed to at least get a charger with it, no excuses.

                                  Well there goes the idea for me to change to Samsung due to my Huawei debacle. So for me to go to a company that's so greedy about profits and not thanking the people who wants to use their products. By taking away stuff that's supposed to be standard. Imagine buying a car without a battery!!!!! So I'll stick it out with my trusted Huawei. @ least they are not greedy!!!! 😜

                                        What do you need headphones for it you can not plug it in?
                                        Do you expect them to give you wireless headset?
