Samsung’s future phones will also not come with charging bricks. The company has revealed it will no longer include headphones and a charging brick in the box.

Samsung has other lines that it brands as Galaxy, from its folding phones to its more budget options. The next generations of its phones may not come with the included accessories.

It could do both, either, or neither, and it would still count as’gradually’. The charger would still be kept around in cheaper phones.

The listings for the note 20 Ultra and note 10 still show a charger. The company does n’t appear to be following Apple’s route of pulling the plugs.

Samsung does n’t have to re-make all the boxes for its old products. Consumers wo n’t end up in the awkward situation where they watch an unboxing from a phone’s launch on YouTube.

We are transitioning to removal of the charger plug and earphones in our latest line of Galaxy smartphones. We discovered that more and more Galaxy users are reusing accessories they already have.

The removal of charger plugs and earphones from our in-box device packaging will help address sustainable consumption issues. We believe that the gradual removal of chargers and earphones can help reduce the pressure that consumers may feel towards continually receiving unnecessary charger accessories with new phones.
