Samsung Galaxy S8 is coming this 2017, but rumors leaked through internet about the design of the upcoming phone. South Korean flagship smartphone will have no 3.5mm headphone jack.
Playing music and videos with headphones on are one of the major uses of the smartphone, hence, removing such feature may cause rampage to the users. Headphone jack and another major feature are rumored that removed from the Samsung Galaxy S8.
According to Sam Mobile report, we can confirm that the company is going to remove the 3.5mm standard headphone jack from the Samsung Galaxy S8. This means that all existing headphones will not be compatible with the upcoming Samsung flagship.
Apple's iPhone 7 is the first smartphone decided to remove the major features on the handsets. Many people are disappointed on the latter's decision, but now, Samsung Galaxy S8 might also do this thing.
Common headphones cannot be use unless you use a USB Type-C adapter as the Samsung Galaxy S8 will feature a compatible USB port. Same problem from iPhone 7, you won't be able to plug in the handset and use wired headphones at the same time.
On the report from Forbes says, Samsung seems to be taking a different course of action by using a USB-C port on the Samsung Galaxy S8 to provide high quality audio instead of using 3.5mm headphone jack. USB Type-C is compatible with VR headset, a new feature added to the handsets.
