There is a new trend in the smartphone industry that many manufacturers may follow. This is releasing a smartphone without a charger which was started by Apple. After the iPhone 12 series, the Xiaomi Mi 11 series also comes without a charger. However, that will not be the only intentional omissions from smartphones. According to recent reports, the Samsung Galaxy S21 will not come with a micro SD card slot. In addition, some markets will include chargers , and other markets will not include chargers with their packaging.
The Samsung Galaxy S series usually comes with microSD expansion card slots. The Galaxy S20 phones currently on the market use a SIM+micro SD hybrid card slot. You can choose to install two SIM cards or one SIM card + one micro SD card. However, most of the current flagship Android phones have cancelled the option of microSD card slot. This is because its performance and reliability are far behind the UFS flash memory built into the phone.
From previous speculations, the Samsung Galaxy S21 series has multiple configurations for different regions. There are reports that in some countries and regions, it will still retain the SIM+microSD hybrid card slot. Following Apple and Xiaomi, the Galaxy S21 will not come with a charger in the box at least in some markets. There is a report that the U.K. version of the Galaxy S21 series will not have a charger in the box. This means that the Galaxy S21 series will be similar to the iPhone 12 series with only Type-C data cable in the box.
