Same reason they did before...
MicroSD for selling much more expensive double storage
3.5mm for selling their FWS (F=fake) head phones, or wired type-d craps.

Now they removing charger because they want to sell their chargers 3x expensiver...

Very soon, they also remove data cable, then they will make screens removable so you must buy display for your phone...

At the end you pay and you'll get only receipt but digital one.
They will say "You have already a phone at home, use that"

I want to say that is not true but people are sheep, they will keep buying and those thief, dishonest, liar, false tech companies going to do what I wrote above.

Wait and see...

    I will Never buy a phone without a charger period. Many options to choose out there.

      I am waiting for the day when companies will announce that people will get the box without phone or they will ask people to courier their bags so companies will courier back the mobile.

            galaxya71user, 26 Jan 2021Apple, the trendsetter.this is not trend, this is ridiculous.

              Uncle D, 26 Jan 2021Who really care of this brand, i just think they make thing... moreIt is not just about this brand, its about all the movile oem are doing same now and we consumer have to raise our voice or else they will keep steaing your money in such moves every single time.

              and apple should get banned for sales globaly untill they dont include charge inside the box -_- and so do other companies.

              because you dont see what's going on, for this time they may provide you charge adapter for free but from next time they would ask you to pay for it separately which eventualy will give them profit as they can sell it on much higher cost then whhat it takes them to offer with the phone in the box.

                Ahh another episode of "how to rip off customers by letting them pay you more, but you give them less"

                Saddening, but I see the whole market follow this.

                        I am really curious about the Meizu 18, the Meizu 16 and 17 were both quite interesting.

                        With the 16 not only having bezels, but actually having an extremely slim one breaking the notch and hole trend, though they didn't include ambient light and proximity sensor nor a decent big speaker on the bezel for some reasons, proof that the trends cause bad habits to persists, as there were no reasons to not put them on the bezel.

                        The Meizu 17 had the best punch hole of them all, by combining it with the battery icon, it was a genius move as it got from an annoying interruption that waste space on the status bar, to something that would only be a problem during fulldisplay contents, it has a flat display, the 17 and 17 Pro also had the best looking multi-camera arrangement on any smartphone I ever saw, beautiful symmetry, centered, look well-balanced.

                        So I am curious if the 18 will also take its own path and make great choices, like using a pop up camera, or no front camera at all, or anything else than a punch hole, notch or underdisplay camera, if the main camera setup will be good, and all that.
                        The two last phones did partially follow trends (underdisplay proximity and ambient light and no big speaker on the bezel, still having a punch hole, removal of the 3.5mm Jack).
                        So I hope the 18 will ONLY have the missing charger as con/bad trend following.

                          Awesome, we'll soon have all phones without the charger...

                            All new flagship phones should have 5Ah battery with 50w charging by default, and a bundled optional charger of 30w should come with the package. Nowadays, you can get a 100w Gan charging brick off Aliexpress for cheap prices, and the bundled charger is basically useless for some, so it's best if they add it as an option.

                              Always these 'bad trend' are the ones that become the normal fast.

                                    I wonder why Meizu doesn't make global phones...

                                      Next trend would be to ship a phone box without the phone itself. So the user pays for the box and if he wants the phone as well should pay even more. This is what I call eco friendly policy.

                                        Who really care of this brand, i just think they make things even harder now, for themselves 👎🏻
