After Apple, Samsung and Xiaomi: the next cell phone manufacturer is giving in

Apple has led the way and the manufacturers of Android smartphones are following dutifully – as has always been the case in the past with questionable decisions. First they make fun of it, then they adapt to Apple. So now also with Oppo.

Oppo no longer includes power supplies with smartphones

Apple has been missing power supplies for a long time. Samsung has now also dispensed with this. Xiaomi also recently decided that some models will no longer come with a power adapter. Now Oppo will do the same. The problem with Oppo is that there using a proprietary technology that only Oppo smartphones can offer the full potential of fast charging. That’s why it’s been so important for Oppo and related brands like Realme, Vivo, and OnePlus to include power adapters in the box. So every smartphone buyer could use the full potential of fast charging without having to pay extra for it.

Noisy AndroidPolice does Oppo want to remove the power supplies from the scope of delivery of the smartphone, as they are currently hard to come by in stores. This should give owners the opportunity to continue using their old power supply when they switch to a new Oppo smartphone.

The explanation is not really understandable. If the SuperVOOC chargers are so hard to get for customers, it’s better to make them available instead of using that as an “excuse” to stop shipping them with smartphones. Many manufacturers are now taking this step. Sustainability is often used as a justification. Of course, it cannot be denied that smaller packages and fewer electronic components have an impact on the climate balance. The other side of the coin is that this is also accompanied by considerable cost savings for the manufacturers, which are usually not passed on to the customer.

Oppo caused a stir with this smartphone:

Soon no more power supplies for Vivo, OnePlus and Realme?

If Oppo is already removing the power supplies from the scope of delivery of the smartphones, it is reasonable to assume that OnePlus will soon follow the example, the company is now fully owned by Oppo. The sister companies Vivo and Realme could also follow.
