"Very much into the green thing" lmao. Ok. Samsung this year have sent me several products, all usually in the same giant box with little more than a black piece of sticky paper enclosing the top. Always in a giant, unsecured box that's taking up a stupid amount of space therefore reducing the amount of items that can be put into a delivery van. The huge space means the phone has plenty of space to be bashed about during transit which may not lead to any visible damage but could weaken some internals and the phone could stop working down the line. Could they not have just sent the phone but wrapped in something padded, anything? Paper or a cardboard mesh in a form fitting box. No. Giant box. Plastic wrap around it. Was sent the same box with my S21 Ultra, Buds Pro and Smarttag. That's 4 boxes/product packaging right there, bought the charger brick afterwards when in stock, another box within a box. 2 deliveries. I remember when you got the charger & earphones inside, now is all seperated.
But fundamentally I'm fine with the no charger, you'd be surprised to hear. But why did they release a brand new 45w charger this year? How many people will end up upgrading to that charger brick without even realising that it doesn't charge any faster than the 25w charger.
https://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s22_series_45w_charging_doesnt_really_make_a_difference-news-5...Going to entice many buyers who will find out the hard way that the 25w Charger charges all the same. Very environmental. Oh and the 50 tones of fishing nets used to create the S22 series. Literally the most minute amount constitutes the plastic in the phone. How much co2 was produced to make the nets usable? Why not have a situation where each phone purchase saves 1kg of nets from the world oceans instead? Greenwashing is all it is. They bundle so many unwanted products with some pre orders that people end up buying the product with the intention of selling the freebies on eBay to lower the price of the actual product they wanted to buy. And you guessed it, that will all be wrapped again, put in a box, and shipped across the country or beyond adding to carbon footprint. US deal was extra storage and store credit for the S22 Ultra. That's more akin to a deal that should be offered. The Galaxy Book Pro 360 5G pre order contained the most free stuff I've seen yet when it came out. A bluetooth mouse, smart trio keyboard, a multiport adapter and a monitor. That's 5 boxes and multiple deliveries worth of stuff. And because Samsung has a habit of making people claim for items now instead of bundling them together in the same shipment, it's more shipping, more packaging, more vans on the road.
