Sony Xperia 10 III is now sold without a charger in the box in some markets

22 October 2021
You do get a proportional price cut, however.

Sort by:

Smartphone manufacturers are going rampant with doing what they like. I believe a standard be maintained like how the EU are making certain criterias to be necessary when shipping a box of smartphone. I want that law to expand globally.

    Do you really care about Sony Charger? Even i really never use them. I can get 5€ 3rd party charger can charge faster than Sony have. 10€ price cut more valuable for me.

I hold Sony up above the mantle, in these matters, not like filthy Apple. Making money by supplying puffiness without charger but the price being the same and Aakash a £ 19 cleaning cloth.
      As long as there are fans, this will continue, and that's what's hurts me

        The true spirit of saving the planet from e-wastes is to give a charger free of charge if the customer asks for it and to log it to the phone via the IMEI no. That's the true spirit of this plan. It's not what Apple does i.e no change in the price of the product but supplies without the charger.
        Worst part, I never expected Sony to copy the same.

                                geek-a-contra, 23 Oct 2021as a matter of fact this is exactly the way i'm doing:... moreAnd it probably takes a few good hours to charge the phone.

                                I have a small 3550mAh battery and a 18 watt charger, it takes 2 hours to charge from 5% to 100%

                                If I plug this to my USB 3.2 port it would take me 5 hours and 40 minutes.

                                Let's be serious, that is beyond stupid if you have a phone with even bigger battery, because USB ports provide a much lower amount of power than most, if all chargers out there nowdays that are/were bundled with a smartphone.

                                Not to mention you need to keep your PC on and on a notebook I need my USB ports for other stuff than silly smartphone charging.

                                It's fine you do your own thing, your choice but just remember how little sense it makes.

                                    In Europe we don't give rats or bother about charger, when you can buy much better premium chargers than the rubbish manufacturers provide.

                                    You poor and Asia all nagging about a cheap trash chargers. Lol.
                                    A good one is £30

                                      The true way to reduce electronic waste would always be to make the hardware last longer be easier to fix, provide spare parts and software updates/mainline hardware. But this is currently not very profitable. However as long as they subtract the price I would rather be without the trash chargers, as well as trash earphones.
