Samsung to Sell Some Smartphones Without Charger Starting Next Year [Report]

Samsung is planning to sell some of its smartphone models without a charger starting next year, according to a new report from ETNews.

According to the industry on the 8th, Samsung Electronics is considering a plan to remove the charger from the smartphone component with a partner. Details of the timing and method have not been confirmed, but Samsung is expected to exclude the charger from some models to be released next year.

Notably, this follows multiple reports that Apple will not include a power adapter or EarPods with its upcoming iPhone 12 smartphones.


The site notes that dropping the charger will have an effect on companies that supply them.

It is expected that Samsung Electronics' policy will also affect related industries. Samsung Electronics is the world's largest manufacturer of around 400 million smartphones annually. If Samsung Electronics reduces the purchase of chargers, it will inevitably have a negative impact on the companies that supplied them. Charger companies need to find new sources of purchase or jump into direct marketing to consumers. Currently, there are three domestic companies that supply chargers to Samsung Electronics.
