Sammobile: Galaxy S8 is not going to feature a 3.5mm headphone jack

Looks like these https://www.amazon.com/Sound-Intone...95177&sr=1-3&keywords=x13+bluetooth+earphones. Make is Dixon and model number is same as these X13.

Thanks, will look into those.

Seems The Verge have the same concerns that I had and many more WRT 3.5mm headphone jack removal. It is quite simply put, unnecessary.

Taking the headphone jack off phones is user-hostile and stupid when Samsung does it too

Goodbye Samsung and Apple iPhone - hello LG, Huawei and Xiaomi...

Apart from now having to buy bluetooth headphones and speakers etc, the other bug bear is that now your battery in the phone will run down much quicker as it will be streaming with Bluetooth, so you will need to have chargers handy - a charger for your phone and a charger for your bluetooth device. Phew, and they call that advancement

Indeed!

Its just getting more inconvenient. May join you there at LG or Huawei, when my next upgrade comes. My S7 Edge should serve me well until then.

I only use Bluetooth so this does not bother me.
