Confirmed the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 wont have a headphone jack (RIP!)

I like my wired headphones since there aren't a single set of earbuds that stay in my ears I've found yet. No jack, no phone for me. I'll hang onto my S9 for fucking ever.
Are you saying you don't have to choose between one or the other? But all these people telling me Wireless is the future and the only way that can be is to remove the headphone jack.
It never fails, the people who get screwed complain, and the ones who this literally won't effective positively or negatively in either way come in and shit on them. You guys already have your wireless headphones, and they'll continue to work whether or not there is a 3.5mm port.
you mean like more than one port? also arent usb connections a lot flimsier than the standard jack?
Plus it's relying on an additional cable being carried around, and it's not standardized so many dongles aren't cross compatible, and it's another cost to the end users.
My skepticism stems from me doubting that half the people complaining were actually going to buy a 10 note.
that can't possibly as fast, reliable, or energy efficient, can it?
a lot of people are talking about not buying future samsung phones that follow suit if this continues to be a trend
Well then it MUST be true ;)
Man, if Samsung ditches the headphone jack for the S11....
I can't imagine why they wouldn't ditch it for all their upcoming flagships. This isn't the type of thing you do as a one-off, IMO.
The die has been cast.
All I want to do is use my earbuds and charge my phone at night. It's pathetic they're removing that ability with out clunky, pricey accessories. I'll probably buy another brand now.
It was gonna happen eventually. I wonder when we'll start to see things like pc cases and laptops start to remove them, if usb c replaced id be fine but usb c headphones as a standard has been a huge mess plus apple's reluctance to move to it hurts the industry adoption.
Just when I was thinking that maybe the Note 10 would have a model without the curved screen (like the S10) and I would get a Note again, I see this news. That really sucks.
Sure, but high-end Android phones are becoming more and more iPhone-like. Why not just go for the real thing if you don't care about stuff like customization?
Probably because of that really big if. There's still a lot of stuff that Samsung is doing that iPhones don't.
And, since we're talking about the note...the s-pen is still something the iphone doesn't have, lol. I use it all the time.
But yeah, if you don't care about one of the biggest reasons to stick with android, then I could understand switching to apple.
And, as in this case, delete the ads where they made fun of it from their YouTube channels.
I imagine they wipe out old ads when new phones are released, but I can't see it on YouTube and if you look up the articles about the ads making fun of the lack of a headphone jack you'll see the embeds are all dead.
Even as a very happy owner of the gear buds, this is a damn shame, especially on the supposedly do everything halo model. Note 10 will be an incredible media machine.
Will get a s10 next year, so I'll be covered for the foreseeable future. But it'll be a slightly sour taste once I get the Sammy phone after that.
For those who have an older note phone, time to upgrade to the note 9, for everyone else, the S10 series are excellent phones that will last a very long time.
Apart from software support, the note 9 will last you for years. Just root and flash the phone in 2-3 years if you want further versions of android. Can see the note 9 lasting till 2023 easily, if you take care of it.

I've had every Note since the Note 4....Im noping out of the Note X....Im sorry I need that headphone jack because Batteries being drained is a thing.
I have the galaxy earbuds and like them well enough, but they dont work for shit for me for games or video, theres a very noticeable delay. I get that with any blu tooth.
I also generally just like the convenience of being able to plug in a cable to my car or any random speaker without having to think about it.
Ive stuck with samsung over oneplus or pixel thanks to the jack, if they dont have it on the s12 I doubt I stay with them, as if I have to say goodbye i'd probably go pixel, extremely begrudgingly.
IPhone 7 was my last iPhone because of the headphone situation. Dealing with dongles is awful
Well so far every company thats done it sells wireless headbuds. So overall its a money grab. Make everyone buy new headsets from you.
The odd thing is, its a clear cash grab; but boneheaded consumers support and cheer for it. This is a new era man. Its not really hard to see why companies would do this even when they dont have to considering people will literally cheer them for doing so.
True Wireless earbuds seem like they're gettin pretty good these days, I'll probably finally shell out for a pair in the next 12 months. The living hell that is the usbc-3.5 adapter on my Pixel 3 will be relegated to the ashbin of history. I look forward to telling people then that headphone jacks are a relic gosh move on people ha ha!
Gee, I wonder why people don't want a fragile dongle hanging out of the bottom of their phone, specifically one plugged into the port used for charging. Would you like to be forced to use the same thing if you wanted to use wireless headphones? Yeah, of course you wouldn't.
Except that the phones themselves typically include compatible wired headphones and/or a dongle, so there is no need to go wireless. Plus there's no guarantee that anyone buying the phone will purchase the manufacturer's brand of wireless headset. If it's some kind of conspiracy to sell wireless headphones, it's pretty ill-conceived.
I just keep it on my headphones. It's just not really an issue for me, sorry.
I too believe the Note 9 will be my last Samsung phone then. You know what I like? Being able to listen to the god damn radio and not use data to stream music that's still gettin' filled with fuckin' ads and crap.
Pretty much.
Screw Apple, their unchecked greed and the people who buy into that stuff.
