Following in the footsteps of Apple and Samsung, Google is joining the growing list of companies that will not include a charging adapter in the box of its smartphones. The Mountain View giant recently confirmed that it will not provide a charger in the box with its upcoming flagship Pixel 6 series to reach its environmental goals.
Now, for those unaware, phone makers started to eliminate the in-box charging brick for their flagship smartphones earlier last year. Apple was the first to make this hugely controversial decision when it announced that it won’t deliver a charging adapter with its iPhone 12 series.
So, Google will launch the Pixel 6 series sometime in the fall of 2021 and would ship the devices with only a USB-C charging cable in the box. Users would be required to use their existing USB-C charging adapter or buy a new one to charge their Google Pixel 6 devices.
