Talking about Galaxy S21, it looks like Samsung might go the Apple's way by removing the charger from the retail box. Amidst all the rumours, the firm has removed an advertisement post from Facebook in which it mocked Apple for removing the charger and earpods from the iPhone 12 box earlier this year. Speculation is that the handsets could launch in India later in January.
