Anonymous, 25 Apr 2024Sorry but Samsung only copies iPhones.Yeah they copy crap that Apple do, like removing the charger in the box. But generally, Iphones are the ones who copies Samsung and Huawei when it comes to tech features. I hate when samsung and huawei tries to copy the crap that Apple creates, it just makes their phones less attractive.

Regardless of the protocols used first we should analize the build quality, over here you only get chinese charger brands mostly, so good chargers (besides the phone branded ones) are difficult to come across, but at the same time most brands still give you a charger.

Wafer, 25 Apr 2024All these companies are taking the pi33 with not including ... moreI can easily live without chargers in the box.
My house is overrun with charging bricks from past devices, and there's literally USB ports everywhere that can be used in emergencies.
I prefer to buy my own, because I can then get the charger that best fits my needs - wattage, port type, number of ports, size, orientation of brick vs A/C prongs, color even!

Samsung once was sort of "respectable" tech company giant, but nowadays is just as bad as apple, just not 99% but i would say 80%, almost no real innovation despite 4 flashy tricks and few changes here and there.
To be honest, i miss the old days where you did see some fierce competition between LG, Samsung, Sony, Huawei, Xiaomi and many others that are now just flushed down the toilet.
So sad to see things evolve this way.

Anonymous, 25 Apr 2024Sorry but Samsung only copies iPhones.Exactly this.
I have an S23, and I hate how much lock-in Samsung tries to pull.
Sure, Google has it's own ecosystem, but I can access that ecosystem from ANYWHERE, on literally any device. (or even use the API with a competing product!) Samsung only services other Samsung devices, or gimps stuff to hell when not paired with a Samsung phone.

Samsung is absolutely pathetic when it comes to charging. They advertise 45W charging for years and yet not even their flagships ever manage to reach those speeds. To add insult to injury, 45W charger charges no faster than 25W one. Not only they don't include charger, even when you buy their own charger, it charges no faster. On what planet does that make sense?! I'm actually surprised they weren't sued yet for false advertising.

My edge 40 pro Motorola here in Slovakia is around 600 euros now and charger is included in box.
In several wendors same charger is between 30 to 60 euros and bought straight from Lenovo store is 85 euros which is still way cheaper than paying 70 euros for a 50W charger.

Not gonna buy this obviously (since I don't care about fast charging in a first place, I just charge my phone when I sleep), BUT, if I were to buy a fast charger, I'd probably trust this over some Xiaomi or other cheap brand. Better than getting my house burned down over saving 50 USD lol.

I remember when Apple took the charger out of the box, that same day Samsung released an ad on their networks rejoicing that they did keep the charger in the box!!!! In just a few months they started removing it hahahahaha we are talking about the s20 line, a phone from almost 5 years ago hahaha Samsung is a clown imitator

EskeRahn, 25 Apr 2024Exactly!
And people tend to ignore that fast charging sh... moreAnother nonsense with zero valid proof.
Many people over youtube, reviewers even GSM Arena team and other famous popular people proven its nto fast charging which kills the battery but heat.
Aou can use 5V1A charger if your heat gets over 50 celius you going to kill or damage your battery you can use even a 125W charger and as long as temúperature remains around 30 or up to 40 celsius its okay.
Using only fast charging capabilities on my Motorlla edge 40 pro with 125W charger which i had in a box with phone and after a year of every day charging have still around 96% battery capacity.

Samsung really has the balls to do this, meaning they have the balls to do more egregious stuff.
