Samsung explains how it’s compensating for missing 3.5mm headphone jack on Galaxy Note 10

The 3.5mm headphone jack, a standard feature on mobile phones for years, is gradually getting phased out. Apple was one of the first to remove the jack with iPhone X in 2017. Soon, several Android players followed the suit. Samsung, however, was one of the biggest names to resist the idea of removing 3.5mm headphone jack. Two years since iPhone X launch, Samsung finally removed 3.5mm headphone jack in one of its biggest phones – Galaxy Note 10.

Samsung is hoping the hardware optimisations, especially the battery, made on Galaxy Note 10 will compensate users for the missing 3.5mm headphone jack. It is worth noting that Samsung Galaxy Note 10 comes with a 3,500mAh battery whereas Galaxy Note 10+ comes with a 4,300mAh battery. The phones also support 30W super fast charging. The company is also bundling Galaxy Buds at a discounted price of Rs 4,999, down from the original price of Rs 9,990.

“… I think the whole thing is about simplification and making sure that the consumer gets the best value out of it. Now, there are a number of things that we’ve done.
