By the way, users need to purchase the 25W charger separately. Samsung is only providing a 15W charger in the retail box. If you are wondering why the battery is smaller compared to Galaxy M51, you are asking the right question. According to Samsung officials, it is to reduce the weight of the phone. It is because they got complaints of the phone being very heavy with a 7000 mAh battery. It might be also to control heat on big batteries.
