It’s a sad fact of life, but with the 2022 Galaxy A phones, Samsung stopped putting a charger in the box. We saw this in the recently release Galaxy A13 in the U.S., and now we see it with the newly announced Galaxy A53 and A33 phones which come without a charger in the box.
What’s in the Galaxy A53 and A33 box?
In short: nothing. The phones come in a tight and compact box that only has the handsets themselves and a stack of warranty and information leaflets. The only accessories that the Galaxy A33 and A53 box content carries now are the charging cable and a SIM card ejector tool.

The new Galaxy A53 and A33 have giant 5000mAh batteries and Samsung advises that you need to use a 25W charger to top them up, but the language of the small print battery section writeup has changed drastically from that of their predecessors.
For the Galaxy A52 that Samsung still sells at a reduced price now, it waxes poetic about its long battery life and says that “when you do need a power boost, Super Fast Charging will have you back up in no time” with the “Fast Charging capability through provided charger” clarification added for a good measure.
It seems that all of the new 2022 Galaxy A-line will be shipping without a charger in the box this time around, marking a new era of environmentally friendly/cost saving charging realities for the world’s largest phone maker. Sad but true.
