Samsung will deprive its future smartphones of chargers and headphones


Samsung Electronics unveiled the flagship Galaxy S21 series, which included no charger or headphones. And this change will not be an exception – Samsung plans to deprive all its future smartphones of it.

Samsung has published a Q&A document that explains some of the nuances surrounding the Galaxy S21. Including, it answered the question about the contents of the box.

As Samsung explained, the company has found that more and more Galaxy users are reusing existing accessories and making sustainable choices in their daily lives. So the decision to ditch the charger and headphones was made to “support the community.”

Now the company plans to gradually get rid of headphones and power adapters in the delivery kits of its other smartphones. How fast this process will be and which models will be hit first are not reported.

The set of the Galaxy S21 series smartphones contains only a cable and a clip for removing the SIM card tray.

When Apple decided to release the iPhone 12 with a reduced package, many companies began to make fun of it. Including Samsung. However, the bad example turned out to be contagious and, in addition to Samsung, Xiaomi also followed in the footsteps of Apple with its new flagship Xiaomi Mi 11. In December, Samsung began to remove its mockery about Apple on social networks.
