onesujeet, 12 Jan 2021I hate to say this but apple is the trendsetter.Hahaha. As long as its obssesive buyers celebrate the madness (removal of 3.5mm jack, no SD card, lousy headphones and then no headphones, then it's own weird and propreitory charging pin, low resolution (720p) of screen for the longest, one of the Last to the Amoled standard, ugliest notch ever, no accessories in the box etc), Apple will keep deciding bad market trends.

Luckily people don't solely have 12MP cameras and boring designs.

    I'm ok with Apple's power brick removal since they only gave us 5w but WTH SAMSUNG? You literally gave us 25w power brick and we're great with that. You don't have to remove it from your packaging! I hope they'll do the same thing as what Xiaomi does...

          The S21 going to have 256GB and a better camera system, well that's good news for me.

            Not including chargers was aimed at slow chargers, because apple was trying to save on consumers. I'm not against if its an option together with cables, adapters and headphones which are often cheap or useless if you got plenty of them home.
            3x,10x 10mp is nothing new as well as no new cameras in non ultras, recycled phone with new snapdragon.
            We will see this year who cares about innovation, a lot of brands just flooding market with ''new'' devices, of course for new price. But its hard to argue as some are yet to bring 5x zoom or 8K, its like leading brands would survive on last year phones even 1 more year if competition won't bring something competitive...

              Only splashes, drops and dust?

                I really hope the optical zoom of s21 will not be the x1.1 only...

                    What's next, S22 instead of a box, comes in a biodegradable plastic bag "To save the environment)

                    SamSong why you copy-paste apple

                      which countries require the charger and headset? Is there a list?

                        New phones come with faster charging tech every year, for which they require new chargers that support those charging speeds, so the whole argument that we can just use our old charger is entirely BS. These companies just want to increase their profits, that's the ONLY reason why they start such anti-consumer policies.

                            notafanboy, 12 Jan 2021fake zoom is fake zoom. Samsung trying to deceive people as... moreAll current phones have fake zoom.
                            Zoom lens means variable FL. Phones have fixed FL.

                              I'd rather they shipped the phones outside of the box plus their respective chargers than this nonsense that Apple started.

                                I'd rather buy a phone out of the box plus the charger than with a box minus the charger.

                                  dual zoom = new name fo the same old sh!t (= hybrid zoom)

                                    No charger in the box and they did this after they mocked Apple?

                                      What is this??
                                      very dissapointed.
                                      will buy oneplus this time, currently using s10.
                                      one more thing samsung should stop using exynos crap as my device is getting poor battery life, heating issues, poor performance, tortoise level charging speed.
                                      Only camera and display is what i like in my s10.
                                      Planning to buy a new phone in 2021 but samsung really dissapoint as they continue using same exynos crap, no charrger seriously (copying apple).
                                      Waiting for oneplus 9 series!!!
