Rumors and leaks suggest that Samsung is considering taking Apple’s steps and removing the charger from the box of the new Galaxy S21, which will be announced this Thursday. Evan Blass today shared images from the official Galaxy S21 website, confirming that new Samsung smartphones will come without a power adapter in the box.
Blass, who also leaked the entire iPhone 12 lineup ahead of the Apple event, tweeted footage of what he claims is the official Galaxy S21 and S21 Ultra webpage. Along with getting a new design, 5G support, and other improvements, the South Korean company’s new phones won’t have a charger in the box – just like the iPhone.
In a section of the website titled “What’s in the Box,” Samsung says new smartphones come with “exactly what you need” – a USB-C cable, the SIM eject tool. and a getting started guide. Samsung also claims the move was made to help the environment, which is the same Apple says since the company took the power adapter out of the Apple Watch box last year.
The Galaxy S21 5G comes with everything you need: USB Type-C data and charging cable, eject pin, and quick start guide. Just another way to be environmentally friendly.
This, of course, is somewhat at odds with what Samsung did when Apple announced the iPhone 12 line. The company made jokes on social media after Apple removed the charger from the iPhone’s box, pointing out that Galaxy smartphones always come with an included power adapter. These messages were later deleted when rumors about the Galaxy S21 emerged on the web.
In a related note, Samsung invited its Twitter followers today to watch the Samsung Unpacked event this Thursday, but the tweets were shared using “Twitter for iPhone”. The company then deleted the tweets, but it was too late.
