nowadays you have to pick a phone like you have to pick a house. do you want a 3.5mm jack? foldable? stylus? on screen fingerprint reader? wireless charging? pick two
Samsung after apple removed the jack: "LOL look at those losers at apple removing the headphone jack. couldn't be us." Samsung now: "no, we never said such a thing. headphone jacks are useless anyways. Have you heard apple removed the charging block, Lmao. couldn't be us."
I fucking hate the fact that my s23 that is a marvel of engenering dosen't have a 3.5mm jack and a microSD card reader. Like you can't tell me, it doesn't have space for any of those, and some Chinese person probably rebuilt one with it. I guess we gota wait until EU does something about it like they did with USB type c and removable batteries
Miss sheltered princess probably only buys the super high end shit, that's why she believes the headphone jack extinct. Almost every mid tier phone and below still had it until like 2020. It's starting to disappear from those too, unfortunately.
My parent's phones have headphone jacks, even my dad's, which came out the same year as my note 20, has one and its also samsung. I believe most budget phones and mid-range phones still have them. 😀
Yeah mine's a low end one, I guess they removed the jack from the high end ones to make those people spend money on the expensive bluetooth headphones that they also sell
From Samsung s22 and under they still have it. Anything above is gone. Source: my older sister upgraded my phone without asking as a birthday present last year.
The headphone jack and Micro SD live on in most of Samsung's A series, Motorola's Moto G series, and weirdly, all of Sony's phones. Apple have a lot to answer for on that stupid no headphones move.
The flagship Samsungs don't have the headphone jack anymore. The A-series Samsung (low to midrange ones) does. They also have microSD slot on them. Why? Ask Samsung. I hate it.
Old phones have jacks. Cheap phones have jacks. My guess is that your phone was very budget friendly. Maybe an Samsung-A series? Either way, most if not all mainstream phones got rid of the jack in like 2017. I blame Apple.
@@LazyClipperand that's why yours has it, it's down market from the main Galaxy line. The removal is slowly creeping down the lineups though, as my Pixel 3a XL had the port, but the 6a I got last year does not have it anymore.
Mine is A series and it has the jack removed. Which I do complain about constantly as I had a bunch of earphones and used it to listen to music while it was charging. Absolutely horrible.
I've had my phone for 4 years and last week the bluetooth in my car shit the bed temporarily. I figured "fine I have an aux cable backup just for this occasion" Then I realized my phone had no 3.5mm jack. What in the actual fuck.
@@Frolkinator yes but can the wireless headphone last longer than like 18 hours a day and need no charge and always be plug and play for maximum degen lifestyle?
I had one laptop from 2014 that could do this (and maybe one from 2007, can't remember). It was neat, but realistically there was no way Toslink DACs were going to catch on.
"To be fair, I was surprised when I got my current phone and realised it had a headphone jack cause I thought those were just extinct in phones (I'm really glad it has one tho)" I bought my phone because it had the headphone jack; my head set broke down so now I only use a ATH.m50xBT headset, which is a bluetooth headset on the bright side I still have the headphone jack…
@@LazyClipper its a decent headset with some bad flaws, sadly it have a "feature" to save battery that cuts out the audio and fade in the audio which makes it completely unusable for stuff like duolingo/memrise, the BT(1) headset actually have a headphone cable with it but it is a special proprietary cable. I am thinking about buying the newer ATH-m50xbt2 since they changed the jack on the ATH-m50xbt from a proprietary to a new standard 3.5mm headphone cable (going to be honest they should have done that in the first place, why would you use non-standard equipment when the equipment is prone to be destroyed or lost?, I would have understood if it was an extreme specific use case but it is a audio cable used by normal people, we ain't astronauts that need it to be completely secure), the charging cable is also changed from MICRO-USB to USB-C (why? why would you use MICRO-USB when USB-C was available? it is the worst usb type that exist in the world, you use the Micro-usb cables a few times and unless it is a really good micro-usb it will break in a matter of weeks, I remember going to a friend that work in tech at a school and I saw a drawer with over 100 micro-usb cables that was broken, he was working in college so the students was like 17 to 19, I would have understood if it was 8 to 14 year olds since their fine motor skills could be bad but 17 to 19 year olds should have decent enough skills), they also fixed the low end bass problems since they have a frequency app now, the old headset was good but man Audio-Technica dropped the ball on that headset, the Japanese tend to make decent audio products but Audio-Technica stumbled on this one, hopefully they don't stumble on BT2, the sad thing is that the BT(1) could have been so much better just by adding in a few extra days with research, I like it since it is decent for its price but it could have been so much better (yes I have a bit of passion when it comes to headsets and it hurt when I see/use headset like the M50xBT just because of all the missed potential in that headset)
I mean you can google the specs of the phone. Some models have jacks and some don't. I cycled through a few local brands as well as global brands that do or do not have them. Not Samsung or Apple though too rich for my blood. The sad thing is most lower brands have their Jack-less phones come with a free adapter, but not Samsung or Apple they're sold separately or sell Headsets that come in USB type-c. (Hence the too rich for my blood.) So people complaining that they don't have adapters are just the Samsung and Apple users.
The phone I have is the Samsung M14 5G, it's a mid-tier phone that (at least here where I live) has the price of a low-end phone. Runs normal day to day stuff perfectly, idk how it performs with games, it can easily run 1080p youtube tho
Flagships phones no longer have a headphoen jack because they wanted to save space? Or just make you purchase adapters, speaking of adapters, anker has a Bluetooth adapter for cars called soundsync A3352 and I use it with my s22 ultra when I wanna take call and listen to music with my kz10pros on, the Lil adapter is small, like the original iPod was but a Lil wider but it works great
They all sell wireless headphones. Gaming phones are top end phones have cooling fans, additional button and a jack. The whole saving space thing is a lie.
It's because of apple, they're masters at gauging customers for shitty gimmicks and everyone just copies them. It's also the reason why phones come without a charger now which is mental, but then again...apple.
The M series is Samsungs mid tier phones, they don't advertise them as much as the A and S series tho They are a much better deal than the A series phones
