In 2021, Samsung made the decision to no longer provide a charger in the box of its high-end smartphones, starting with the Galaxy S21. The South Korean manufacturer, leader in mobile telephony in the world, followed in the footsteps of Apple. The Californian group stopped providing a charger with its iPhone 12 in 2020.

Samsung-branded premium phones have been offered for sale without the traditional mains unit Free. To obtain a new charger, it is imperative to return to the cash register. Like Apple, Samsung believes most buyers already have a charger in a drawer at home. Most manufacturers have imitated Apple and Samsung, including Xiaomi and Google.

Samsung will no longer offer chargers with its affordable phones

On the other hand, Samsung continued to provide a free charger in the box of its more affordable smartphones, namely Galaxy A and Galaxy M. According to a new leak, the situation is about to change. According to information obtained by Yogesh Brar, a reputable Indian leaker, there will be no “no chargers in the box for the next models of the M&A series”.

Buyers of a new Galaxy A or new Galaxy M will also need to invest in a charger sold separately, unless they already have the accessory. This decision obviously aims to reduce phone production costs, which are among the best-sellers on the market. The Galaxy A references, mid-range at a bargain price, regularly appear at the top of the best-selling phones.

To justify its decision, Samsung will probably put forward ecological benefits. The disappearance of the included charger indeed reduces the multiplication of electronic waste and the size of the box. The reduction of the box makes it possible to transport more products at less cost while minimizing the ecological impact.

The first models affected by this new policy should be the Galaxy A73, Galaxy A53, Galaxy A33 and Galaxy A23. Smartphones are expected in during the month of March 2022. What do you think of this decision? We are waiting for your opinion in the comments.
