but when something exploded they blame customers for not using "standard" chargers. The people who buys this trash deserve the explosions they get.

    I hate this trend of manufacturers removing charger from flagship phones, Where people pay more but get less. The best charger for any phone is the one that comes in the box. Especially flagship phones having capabilities of fast charging. PURE RIP OFF TREND STARTED BY APPLE.

      Now that's called being Stupid...
      If you wish capture market, you need to entice the customers with the best possible solutions (which competitors are not offering)...
      Google.. PLEASE GIVE CHARGER IN THE BOX

          Why don't they just drop the phone from the box as well?

            I hate Apple for starting this trend.

              This sordid game of Chargers must come to an end. Let Industry unequivocally settle it and have few chargers universally acceptable to all elite makers! ( Rest follow suit anyways). And we the consumers too will get rid of buying these on every swap of phones!

                Hey, at least this time they didn't mock apple first and then ate their words later like they did with the removal of the headphone jack.

                    Akashraj, 18 Aug 2021I just hate Apple for introducing such anti consumer practi... moreSony, Motorola, Vivo, Oppo, realme, htc offer the charger.

                    Just the ones most obsessed by Apple are removing.

                      No worries. These phones will not have a place in our house

                        "Google told The Verge that most people already have a USB-C charger, so there's no point in including one anymore."

                        Most people also had a smartphone already, there's also no point in keep making new smartphones.

                          I just hate Apple for introducing such anti consumer practices and all those brain dead Android makers who will fall off the cliff if Apple did it too.

                            they should remove the Cable, covers, paper work sim tray, box too. People already have those from their older devices. Phones sent just in a foam sleeve is enough. We should save environment, by taking just the Phones and nothing else. Everything needed later can be bought online, like sim tray etc. Everything in their own packaging and shipment.

                              AnonD-1014095, 18 Aug 2021Who cares, no one cares. You, we should be worried that it... moreIt's using an unreleased Exynos but I wouldn't bash the Snapdragon 700 series. From what I've read, they can handle emulation up to Wii and 3DS pretty well. But I do wish it came with the 888 for more future proofing. The 765G was only as good as the 845 with a worse GPU and clearly weaker than the Pixel 4's 855. And Pixel 4 goes cheap for like $200 while the 5 goes for $500+.

                                  It would be so funny if people would buy cheap Chinese chargers and cables and burn down their phones then make warranty complaints.

                                    Pixel 3 gave me the best package. Included charger, cables, adapter, and Google threw in a USB-C headphones which actually sounds pretty good.

                                    Whatever Apple does, everyone else copies.

                                      In the future, phones come in a plastic bag.

                                        The "best camera on a phone" pretext for the pixels is falling apart
