14 DAY TRIAL // Samsung announced the Galaxy S21 earlier this week, and the company is ready to begin its marketing offensive to make sure this new model sells much better than its predecessor.
Because truth be told, the Galaxy S20 landed just at the worst time, as it went on sale in March, at the time when the entire planet was struggling to deal with the global health issue.
In other words, experiencing the Galaxy S20 was pretty difficult, and this eventually affected its sales substantially.
Samsung, therefore, wants to make sure this doesn’t happen with the Galaxy S21, so the company today published official videos to showcase the hands-on experience with the device, but also how the unboxing looks when you receive the device.
No charger in the box
One particular thing that deserves to be mentioned here concerns the unboxing, as you won’t find a charger in the box of the Galaxy S21. If this sounds familiar to you, it’s because Apple did the same thing for the iPhone 12, and now Samsung embraced the same idea for its new flagship.
“We discovered that more and more Galaxy users are reusing accessories they already have and making sustainable choices in their daily lives to promote better recycling habits. To support our Galaxy community in this journey, we are transitioning to removal of the charger plug and earphones in our latest line of Galaxy smartphones,” Patrick Chomet, EVP and Head of Customer Experience Office, Mobile Communications Business, said.
“We believe that the gradual removal of charger plugs and earphones from our in-box device packaging can help address sustainable consumption issues and remove any pressure that consumers may feel towards continually receiving unnecessary charger accessories with new phones. We’ve also been implementing standardized USB-C type charging ports since 2017, so older chargers can still be compatible with our newest Galaxy models.”
A Galaxy S21 charger is still available separately if you need it.
