There'll be a USB Type-C port instead.

I wish that Samsung would read this and listen to its customers. Removing the 3.5 mm headphone jack is an unpopular decision. Especially now after the Note 7 fiasco, you need to do everything to attract your customers back.

      And guess what ....no one buy them. So why should Samsung do this nonsence?
      Ppl love TW and that's why Android became so popular.
      The few 'pure Android' freaks, with bloated by the media heads, should wait years to get features that Samsung users have.
      Just like the brainwashed ifans.
      Wake up!!!

        Anonymous, 07 Dec 2016Say No to Samsung and Apple. Buy other phones.Exactly. Avoid these two moronic brands when it comes to mobile. They might #1 and #2 in mobile market share, but they force consumers into changes we don't want. My next phone will either come from the LG V series, Nokia, Huawei, HTC, or Google Pixel with a better design for next year. Apple and Samsung are cornering us into changes we don't need.

        The people defending them for "change" are the same suckers already inside Apple and Samsung's pockets because the only thing they want cool from another disposal phone is DESIGN when practical features are also important in the longer run for many consumers. These "changes" is to make phones and standards obsolete. These omissions aren't necessary.

        Stick to laptops for better computing, browsing, streaming video, and gaming. The experience at browsing the web is far better than the mobile sites we see on our phones. And they have higher charge cycles and last for a good half decade. I hope the mobile market crashes from companies' greed, stupidity, and a saturated industry.

          Stick to LG. Apple is good at making Mac OSX. Samsung is good at TVs. Avoid both for smartphones.

              SJM32, 07 Dec 2016Sorry but it is you that is dumber. Lenovo/Motorola removed... moreYea but nobody gives a sh!t when Lenovo removes 3.1 jack, but apparently its a thing when apple does it.
              I remember when apple released iphones with no proper black color, and the world of mobiles followed that same Dumb decisions, even SONY too.
              It is definitely the World who is dumb to follow crapple Period

                I still don't believe this Apple-PR rumor. To make the jack-less iPhone7 look ''innovative''.
                Remember how many rumors and articles, about how Samsung will copy the Force Touch BS? LOL
                Well....they didn't

                  Ohhh you Fandroids or Samboys, stop crying about an old jack being replaced! It was going to happen regardless of who done it first! If the Mi Mix non ear piece & almost bezel-less pays off I guess we will see that on Samsungs, HTCs, LGs even Apples one day!

                  Tech dies, things move on for the better!

                  EMBRACE CHANGE!!!!

                          S5, Note 4 are the last legends of Samsung. 2014 was the best year for it. I don't know what is wrong with them. I won't buy a phone without a removable battery and headphone jack. I don't care about the brand anymore. That is how Samsung going to vanish, same destiny as Nokia.

                            Well then, no Samsung S8 for me. My LG V20 and Sennheiser HD700 are a match made in heaven and I won't be able to downgrade to a wireless headphone ever.

                              Samsung is shooting its own leg. Stupid dual camera and no 3.5 mm jack. F#@k samsung, I'm going HTC 10. I'm sure S9 will bring back 3.5 mm jack and it will be announced as benefit and value for customers. Complete idiots.

                                i might as well buy an apple then. Samsung has abandoned power users completely , The S5 was there last great phone.

                                  Where is that Samsung marketing guy that claimed headphone jack is a feature and all those Android sheeps that insists headphone jack will be the way of the future?
