I simply cannot understand how Samsung can supply the latest S21+ without a Charging Unit, that is simply ridiculous, especially considering the price. I have upgraded from a S9 to S21 (I skipped a generation). Now I have to buy a Charger as an accessory- that is just crazy!

Samsung discovered that many Galaxy users are reusing their earphones and chargers that they already have at home even after purchasing a new phone.

 

Our past models already have standardized chargers and these chargers are widely available at home. Samsung also applied a standardized, USB-C type charging port since 2017, so older chargers are still compatible with our newest Galaxy models.

 

In addition, Samsung wanted to reflect the recent wireless earphone usage trend. Reflecting these usage patterns of customers, Samsung reviewed the composition of the products from various perspectives and is transitioning to the removal of a charger plug and earphones in our latest line of Galaxy smartphones. Samsung believes that the gradual removal of charger plugs and earphones from our in-box device packaging can help address the growing ewaste problem and remove any pressure that consumers may feel towards continually purchasing new chargers with new phones.
Samsung is trying to eliminate unnecessary waste of resources by prioritizing compatibility between product components, and through these, Samsung is committed to providing the best possible experiences for our Galaxy customers.
