Why should cheap phones get ’em if flagships don’t?
When launching the Galaxy S21 lineup, Samsung decided to follow in Apple’s footsteps and ditched the wall charger. Since then, its higher-end devices have shipped without an in-box charger. Remarkably, the manufacturer continued to sell lower-end devices with chargers for a while but is now stripping their boxes off of the accessory too.
The move shouldn’t come as a surprise, as the recently released Galaxy A13 comes with no charger in the box. According to PhoneArena and @heyitsyogesh, most of the brand’s phones will now come without a wall adapter in the box. Indeed, Samsung is expected to continue removing chargers from most of its lineup, as future A and M series are rumored to ditch the wall charger too.
In case you’re wondering, Samsung shouldn’t have any intention of dropping its phones’ prices, so you better have a wall adapter handy, or you’ll have to spend some extra bucks buying one. With this move, Samsung might lose a selling argument compared to the competition, with many manufacturer catering to the low-end market still including chargers to this day.
