if you are conversant with what is happening around the world you should know that the EU proposed this about 4 years ago. What the Op said is what was said at the EU convention. No be everyone dey ignorant

Hello Nairalanders,

Have you noticed that when you buy a brand new Samsung phone nowadays, you only get the phone and a type-c cable inside the box? No charger head, no earphones!

Why are they doing this?
Samsung says it is to protect the environment and reduce electronic waste. Most people already have working chargers at home, so reducing extra accessories helps cut down on carbon footprint. Another reason is to make the phone boxes smaller and lighter, which saves shipping costs.

What can you do about it?
1. Use your old charger: If you have a good quality charger head from your previous phone, you can use it. Just make sure it supports fast charging if your new Samsung supports it.
2. Buy a certified charger: If you need a new one, buy an original or good quality certified PD (Power Delivery) charger to keep your battery healthy.
3. Go wireless or use adapters: For earphones, you can switch to Bluetooth wireless earbuds or get a Type-C to 3.5mm audio jack adapter if you prefer wired earphones.

they did it because Apple did it.

Samsung laughed at iPhone when iPhone 11 debuted without charger. In their next flagship they did exactly the same and deleted their post mocking iPhone.

Pythagon:
Only low budget phones comes with chargers these days

Nairalander248:
Imagine having chinko phone with 1.1A charger and person gift you Samsung phone, that require 2.1A charger...

Let me know if you will wish Samsung had send charger head top.

You see why this part of the world is the bottom of the barrel

chipet67:
Young Nigerians that should be thinking of building a charger factory in Nigeria are the ones exchanging unnecessary words here.
Unproductive generation.

I noticed it and thought I was tripping. Recently got a new Samsung phone and it only came with the charging cord. No charger head.

pocohantas:
So Samsung joined iPhone in this madness?

femi4:
A useless excuse

The last samsung I bought, i had to order for charging head separately cos you want to charge two or more phones simulteneously

Now hp laptops now come with c type charging port ...that means your phone charger can doubled as a laptop charger but it does not address the issue of simulteneous charging

Goo0dHardDick:
U well so?

Samsung has been doing that since they started making S10.

Plus, Samsung are the ones making iPhone screens. U can check Google to confirm.

So which one is they did it because iPhone did?

duro4chang:
It doesn't make sense. If all other manufacturers are doing that don't you know that the prices of changers will go higher

Kingsasian:
Listen to your brain. Is Samsung produced in Africa?

Pythagon:
it's not now. it's has always been like that since time immemorial most of our laws were copy and pasted from UK and US.
