[Rumor] Note 10 May not have headphone jack.

[-DMP-]

There's still plenty of healthy debate to be had regarding the inevitable death of the 3.5mm headphone jack as more smartphones are released with USB Type-C ports, but a new rumor claims that Samsung may have plans to mess things up even further by introducing its own proprietary port for delivering audio. Two sources linked to Samsung's smartphone supply chain claim that the company is “ actively and aggressively” looking into proprietary headphone jack option for its devices. Unfortunately, the sources did not share any details regarding the proprietary how it would be superior to audio over USB Type-C.

The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is the first device in Samsung's lineup which technically doesn't need its 3.5mm headphone jack since it's equipped with a USB Type-C port, but the rumor implies that Samsung isn't going to make any efforts to push the adoption of USB Type-C as an alternative for the standard 3.5mm headphone jack.

While the recently-announced Apple iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus ditched the 3.5mm headphone jack in favor of Apple's Lightning port, Samsung does not have enough pull in the marketplace to ditch the 3.5mm headphone jack and USB Type-C. Since there are already a lot of Android enthusiasts who aren't happy with Android manufacturers ditching the 3.5mm headphone jack on newer devices, we can't imagine a world in which things would end well for Samsung if they follow through with this idea.

This is one rumor which we hope is killed off before it ever sees the light of day.

Samsung rumored to be working on a proprietary headphone jack


10/10/18 Edit. Now being reported for the note 10.

Samsung Electronics will eliminate the earphone jack on its strategic smartphone. It is said that it will be applied from the model which will be released after autumn next year. "On the 10th, an official of the parts industry said," Samsung is considering removing the earphone jack from Note 10 or S11. "The USB-C terminal will be left, and a separate conversion jack will be provided for 3.5mm earphone users." I said. USB-C is a 24-pin USB connector for data and power transfer. It is easy to understand when you think about the charging port in the middle of the Samsung smartphone. When the earphone jack is gone, you should listen to the music by cable using this USB-C terminal or use the wireless Bluetooth earphone. 3.5mm earphones can not be plugged directly into the USB-C port. To use 3.5mm earphones, you must use a separate conversion jack. That's why Samsung wants to get a conversion jack out of the earphone jack. It is necessary to connect 'smartphone (USB-C) - conversion jack -3.5 phi earphone' type.

Motorola also ditched the 3.5 jack this year before Apple and no one noticed.

its dumb no matter what company does it. Apple dumbasses removed the ability to charge ur phone and listen to music at the same time. yet nikkas making excuses for them. they could've added wireless charging capability to combat it. nope. "lets wait till the fukkin 7s gets released and add it then. these fukkin idiot customers will shell more money out for it".

Dumb sht, just trying to backdoor a lockdown on content by removing the digital analog loophole.
Fact is digital will never be superior to analog transmission of sound.
Never.
