Response from argos:
Hi Trev. The items included within the box with your device are a reflection of Samsung's commitment to the environment. Samsung found that the large majority of users were re-using their plugs, so in the effort to reduce e-waste, Samsung decided to include only a new cable, so that users could still refresh their charger. To prepare for your new phone, Samsung recommend checking out the 'What's in the box?' section of the purchase page. If your phone did not have a cable included, please reach out to Argos Support, who will be happy to take a look into this for you. Enjoy your A36 5G!
This phone has been an excellent phone and great.
