Samsung S8 will NOT have a HeadPhone Jack

[goodtofufriday]

If it was truely about size then why cant we have a 2.5mm jack?  Sure we'd need adapter but we could still play and  charge. I meam thats how it was done before smart phones came around.

How is this exclusively confirmed? Am I missing the proof or is there just none?

The proof is in the pudding. And there is no pudding!

IF YOU DON"T EAT YER MEAT THEN YOU CANT HAVE ANY PUDDING.

 

So nobody knows anything about this sites "exclusive confirmation" that the S8 will have no 3.5mm?

i dont understand lol

 

And yeah every place talking about the S8 having no jack just links back to this guy, and he doesnt have any sort of proof or anything. Just says hes got an exclusive.

battery life isn't great either. They tech imo isn't as good as it should be to ditch the jack yet

Totally agree. But we have had jaks for decades without any solid improvement in other solutions. Hopefully something good comes out of this.

 

I perspnally am not interested in top end market so I will enjoy the jacks for several years to come before they are abandoned by the majority of the manufacturers. 

 

We desperately need longer lasting batteries. There was news few months back about batteries that can last lot longer while maintaining the size but I dont remember any details as I think it was a result of an accident and will take forever to become a standard...

Guess I'm keeping my S3 for a bit longer...

I find it lame that a brand as big as Samsung feels the need to follow Apple's brainless trend of ditching useful inputs. It doesn't bother me though I have never been into using smartphones anyways I feel they are a waste of money and my cheap Nokia Lumia fits my needs while having headphone jacks and frankly I doubt I'll buy a new phone before it breaks and since its a Nokia that might not even happen before I die

They were all replicating features Apple had designed first (or in the case of the Galaxy S/S II/Tab 10.1, simply trying to imitate the look).

Just out of curiosity. Can USB C be split for audio output and power input?

Depends how the manufacturer electrically wired the port

Nokia will implement a 10mm banana jack instead xD.

How are you supposed to recharge it though?
