Charger not included in the box - why?

How many of you hate Nothing for not adding charger in the Box…??? 💔 Users having hard time finding a perfect charger with a slow charging bugs in Nothing devices❗

SubrahmanyaHegde cut costs for the company also cut costs for the end buyer. If you want an adapter you just include it as a soft bundle when you buy the phone. Cables are already in the package just because they are easy to lose and damage.

There are plenty of 45W aftermarket chargers out there, for as little as £10. If you can afford the phone, you can afford a charger. Think you’re going to find you’re in the minority on this issue.

softouch6 First and foremost, I’ve 100W, 65W, 25W charger with myself, but Nothing’s slow charging issue sucks with almost every chargers. It takes almost 2.30 to 3hrs for some users! It’s not who can afford and who cannot, it’s about how users like you are fooled saying preventing e-waste whilst selling seperately with a seperate package which is also a Waste! It’s purely a Business Upsell not any other global cause❗#Wakeup

softouch6 "If you can afford a car you can afford tires, why including them with cars ?". That's an utter nonsense to me and it's evr more nonsensical that some consumers dare to defend those strategies that are purely based on greed because a leading company that we won't quote started it and got away with it.

@romansharmagold No not "everybody has plenty of chargers", especially when you don't change your phone that often and when new phones constantly require new chargers to benefit from the fastest possible charging. Smaller boxes cutting fraction of cents in shipping (which is already dirt cheap) lower prices for them, not for you.

softouch6 Not happy with that ? Don't buy it !

Acting like it didn't become the norm (because of people accepting and justifying that like some people on this thread) … but hey you can buy a cheap unofficial knock off charger from ebay so that's ok. A tip : You can buy your $17 charger from Chinese stores for half the price.

For now only few companies add chargers to the box and i think in the near couple of years nobody will add charger to the box.

ShaikhMuhammad

Anonymous717 Pure Business, forcing customers to pay extra by upselling 💔 Because not everyone update/Buy new mobile/model every year, so they ain’t making money❗

SulimanManasreh then why are the giving us rechargeable battery u don’t know this companies trick to earn money by not giving charger in the box environment does not have any significance in this matter

Some companies do not bundle chargers for reducing e-waste. However, when a consumer ends up buying the charger, the charger comes in a separate box (of e-com companies) and its branded box. Doesn’t this additional packing increase waste, if not disposed off responsibly ? Had the charger been provided along with the phone, then this extra purchase could have been avoided. Actually, what should be addressed is “Responsible disposal of e-waste and packing materials waste”. Maybe the companies can (as a part of CSR initiatives) build centres to dispose these materials and in return the customer can be provided a discount coupon as an incentive ? Maybe a draw of lots ? What say ? Humans are motivated to do certain things through Incentivization.

Heera

NotP2a Now, someone addressed the perfect answer!

ShaikhMuhammad original charges are always better for all the brand phones for phone battery health also.

ShaikhMuhammad I have charged my phone using various chargers including from car cigarette lighters, and it has never taken 2 ½ hours. Also I bought a Nothing charger for £17 from eBay, so we’re not talking huge amounts of cash. Another point is, in the case of my phone (2), it was heavily discounted not long after launch, so even buying a separate charger still didn’t reach the original price of the phone. Finally, a quick online search would have told you the phone didn’t come with a charger. Not happy with that ? Don’t buy it ! Oh, and my post said nothing about E-Waste.

If you think this decision is correct considering the environment, then you should never buy a separate charger. Just use the phone as long as it has a charge 🔋, and when the battery dies, buy a new one phone 📱. Because if you buy a charger, it will harm the environment.

SulimanManasreh things that don’t exist, like wizards, belong in sarcasm commas. Not the environment.

ShaikhMuhammad you know is all our world working this way, is not the right way but is what it is…

ShaikhMuhammad this is pure business, and its what everyone is following, you gotta make money too. its sad but reality. apple gives 5+ years updates, pixel 7 I guess, samsung now 4 or 5 too. we are getting huge updates. low end phones only get 1 or max 2 coz of hardware which seems valid to me. even samsungs mid range phones gives long updates. things are diff now with updates.

ShaikhMuhammad simple , sone people already own chargers + it adds cost to the overall phone if you want a charger you can buy one (official) using the bundle offer with the phone

@ShaikhMuhammad 🤔

ShaikhMuhammad 🙋‍♂️, So if e-waste or the environment is such a big deal for them, why are they still making chargers under the CMF brand? You can even buy them when you try to check out with a Nothing device in your cart. Like, what’s the point of manufacturing them if that’s really their main concern?

mafcarvalho

You seem to be forgetting that phone boxes are smaller (slimmer) due to the fact that the charger isn’t included inside. This makes multiple unit shipping much easier and cheaper too. That’s one of the ways to reduce costs for the brand and the end buyers. Finding a proper charger isn’t that hard, at least in Europe.

… what about environmental protection? Everybody has plenty of chargers from the past phones, so new charger is need only ocassionally. Btw. boxes without chargers could be smaller, so the transport costs and polutions are lower, so the prices could be lower. :-)
