Samsung Will Drop Headphone Jack To Make The Galaxy S8 Slimmer

Samsung Is Ditching the Headphone Jack With the Galaxy S8


Report: Samsung's upcoming flagship smartphone- Samsung Galaxy S8 will not feature 3.5mm headphone jack. After Motorola (Moto Z) and Apple (iPhone 7), Samsung is going to ditch the Headphone Jack and will use USB Type-C port for audio transmission.



That means you'll have to use a USB-C to 3.5mm audio adapter to make the phone compatible with your existing headphones.

The report also says that eliminating 3.5mm headphone jack will help Samsung to keep Galaxy S8 thin and will also allow the device to pack in a bigger battery.



Other rumors says that Samsung Galaxy S8 will come in two variants i.e. 5.7" and a 6.2" with bezel less display, both the variants will probably feature 6GB RAM and upto 256GB internal storage.
