Expected, they want that wireless money selling those shitty earbuds like Apple. Create the problem and sell the solution.
i hope at the very least phones adopt a new standard connector. i can accept being forced to get an adapter or new set of headphones if it means i still have a dedicated audio out port that can be used while charging
then get a phone that caters to high end audio quality? you seem to value that a lot. a lot seem fine with using some generic sony or skull candy noise canceling wireless buds that sound perfecy fine with spotify or apple music.
customers don't seem to mind, though. lets them design how they want to.I mean, that's exactly what I've done. Would be nice to have some viable options outside of LG phones but I totally understand it is a relatively niche concern for most.
In general I wish there was a bit more differentiation or focus on different things. I'd trade one of the half dozen camera sensors most flagships seem to focus on for a better battery life for example.
So what's the upside of the jack being taken out here for consumers? Obviously it's cheaper for Samsung, but does that lead to a cheaper phone or some additional functionality?

Well the problem is there is not a lot of phones that cater to high end audio quality. The only phone I can think of off the top of my head is the LG G6 which had a high-end DAC in the phone. Only option is to start looking at DAP's but then that's just carrying another device around which is inconvenient.then get a phone that caters to high end audio quality? you seem to value that a lot. a lot seem fine with using some generic sony or skull candy noise canceling wireless buds that sound perfecy fine with spotify or apple music.

Yeah isn't the Korean model like the best version or something?All the LG V and G phones have the high end DAC. There is some regional fuckery though so make sure you go for the right model. I'll probably get a G7 for my next phone (last years model) because they are pretty capable and also getting cheap.

They are pretty capable phones though that go cheap fast so the G7 isn't a bad choice, I just don't like LG's skin on Android tbh.

It'll be a shame if they remove it going forward. I've had nothing but issues with my galaxy buds so I like having the wired option.
i'm not seeing it...
Don't say this out loud when Samsung phones have features neither iPhone or Pixel have period. I'm saying this as a Pixel owner.
I hardly ever use the headphone jack on my Note 9. But I'm not happy about not having the option to do so without needing a dongle. Let's see how the market responds, Samsung has reversed decisions before on consumer demand.
Dark mode before either of them.
There isn't one.So what's the upside of the jack being taken out here for consumers?
Keyless entry into my house, keyless start/stop for my car, Bluetooth wireless (connected to phone)sound system audio for House & Car.
Wireless earbuds (watch/phone)when I workout or when walking around.
It's a wireless world boys.
I don't understand these posts. Wireless is convenient for lots of things. I also have keyless entry for my car, and bluetooth. I also have the option to use an audio jack or the key if I want.
It's really weird that some people are okay with removing more options just because they don't use them.
The Galaxy s10?I used wireless headphones for most of my daily listening and this still drives me mad. I can't stand not having the option. It's ridiculous and unnecessary, and whenever we have this thread, the biggest argument in favor of getting rid of the jack seems to be "well wireless is better" which...doesn't have anything to do with it.
Anyway, I've got and LG G6, I'm about due for an upgrade. Can anyone recommend any good Android flagship phones with a headphone jack?
Very very slightly at best. With how big phones are, and how headphone jacks are stuck along the edges, it's often used more for better speaker routing, or more room for other small components.
Uh ... Where have you been?What about the lack of physical buttons because that's the actual dealbreaker to me
Higher than 68? No, chief. That doesn't fly, they achieved 68 with a headphone jack and a stylus slot.I was thinking that they leave it off to get that higher Water resistance rating easier.
