On Tuesday, Abhishek Yadav (@yabhishekhd) tweeted a picture of the Google Pixel 6a’s retail box and claimed that the device wouldn’t come with a charger when it was sold in India. The claimed image, however, implies that the box still contains a USB Type-C connector. Many smartphone manufacturers now follow Apple and don’t include a charger in the box, similar to the Apple iPhone 12 series. The Nothing brand, which is funded by Carl Pei, just introduced the Nothing Phone 1, its first smartphone.

In April of this year, the Realme Narzo 50A Prime also made its debut without the included charging brick. With the introduction of the iPhone 12 series, Apple started the trend of removing the included charger and bundled headphones from the retail packaging of smartphones.
