When Apple dropped its bundled smartphone chargers from the iPhone 12 series, a few readers felt it was a matter of time before other device makers — like Samsung — followed suit. Rumors that the Korean firm would ditch the charger starting with the Galaxy S21 series first popped up in July and then gained traction in October.

For Samsung, it’s unclear what excuse the Korean firm will give users if the rumors are indeed true. But this did get us thinking about how many chargers Android Authority readers have in their possession.
