Note on the grapevine claims that Samsung shall be situation to raise support the three.5mm headphone jack on the Galaxy S21 series, after ditching it for the Camouflage 10, S20, and Camouflage 20 lineups. It sounds as if, the firm can even enact that to gauge how grand it influences sales.

Samsung in the raze joined the crew by taking away the headphone jack on the Galaxy Camouflage 10 series closing year, and on with succeeding flagships. It appears, then again, that the firm is mulling a decision to raise support the headphone jack, and as almost today as next year.

Per tipster @MauriQHD, Samsung is contemplating bringing support the headphone jack on next year’s Galaxy S21 series. The provision tweet implies that the firm is willing to enact so for at its 2021 flagships on the very least, starting with the S21 series, to gauge how grand impact it has on sales. 

While there would possibly perhaps be not any concrete evidence as to how fair appropriate right here’s—or no longer it is mere hearsay at this level—this would possibly perhaps perchance be a sound decision by the firm. Samsung received plenty of flak for taking away the headphone jack from the Camouflage 10 closing year, and bringing it support would guarantee plenty of media goodwill.

This will not be always the first time one thing enjoy right here’s occurring either; Sony exact brought support the jack on the unique Xperia 1 II after ignoring it for two years, as an instance. Samsung removed the SD Card slot from the Galaxy S6 in 2015 and brought it support the next year, too.

Headphone Jack ????

Samsung -serious about- bringing it support, as a unhealthy experiment “to be taught about what occurs”

for as a minimal 1 year

ETA: 2021+

some functions debated:

S = the media will trail wild, free publicity

Camouflage = ↑↑ + appropriate lineup for experiments, however much less revenue
