Seven years ago, Apple removed the headphone jack from iPhones, then some Android phone manufacturers removed that thing from select devices, including high-end phones. Then, the tech giant also removed the charger bundled from the boxes. Samsung has also removed the headphone jack, earphones, and chargers from all high-end Galaxy devices just a couple of years later. Now, it is claimed that Samsung will remove chargers even from affordable Galaxy phones, starting with Galaxy A14. Here are the details…

Galaxy A14 seems not to have chargers in the box

The reason for removing these accessories from the boxes is to reduce waste and make products more environment-friendly, companies claim. According to a truthful tipster, Samsung’s upcoming affordable phone, Galaxy A14 (non-5G model), will come without a bundled charger. While it might have only a USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable in the box, it will be Samsung’s cheapest smartphone to lack a charger.

Although there are no official announcements for this claim, it is possible to be true. Since the companies want to make a profit, they remove these things from the boxes. However, you can buy chargers and earbuds for your Galaxy from the official website. Nevertheless, it will be weird for Samsung to remove the charger from an affordable Galaxy device.
