To save money and reduce carbon emissions, OnePlus has decided to discontinue the charger included with the Nord CE 4 Lite smartphone in select markets, including Europe and the UK.

Package differences
The OnePlus India website states that the Nord CE 4 is included Lite includes charger. However, on the company’s resources focused on the UK, Europe and Ukraine, the charger is not included in the smartphone’s equipment list (as is the protective case).
SuperVOOC fast charging
Nord CE 4 Lite supports 80W SuperVOOC fast charging technology . However, it is unclear what charging speeds are available using the generally accepted USB-PD standard. For example, the OnePlus 12 had significantly slower charging speeds via USB-PD.

At the time of writing, OnePlus did not comment on the reasons for the refusal of the package charger in Europe and the UK, and did not provide information on the charging speed of the Nord CE 4 Lite when using USB-PD adapters.

I can't believe OnePlus excluded the charger from the Nord CE 4 Lite in Europe and the UK. 🤯 Is this such a saving on plastic and packaging?

I'm also surprised by this decision. OnePlus chargers have always been high quality and powerful. Without them, buyers are likely to be disappointed. 😕

Maybe they're trying to reduce their carbon footprint by eliminating chargers? Although this is a bit strange for a premium brand. 🌱

I think this is purely a marketing ploy. They want customers to purchase chargers separately at an additional cost. 💰 A classic way to earn more money.

Ugh, these stupid trends are annoying me! 😡 Why buy a smartphone without a charger? Complete nonsense! In my time, everything was different, and no one complained.

I don't agree with you, Karl. Many manufacturers are already eliminating chargers to reduce waste. 🌍 This is a good step towards environmental friendliness.

I wouldn't blame OnePlus. The charger may be included in some markets, such as India. This may be due to regional laws or customer preferences. 🤷♂️

The interesting thing is that most European buyers likely already have chargers at home. 🔌 So this step makes sense to avoid unnecessary waste.
