07 August 2019
The company anticipated the backlash, and thus had a few reasons at the ready.

        I think lack of the headphone jack is not a problem here, the problem is lacking innovations.

                  Here we go to the party no jack no problem.
                  Deal???
                  Expect the upcomming S11 line without jack as well.
                  There is no need for that big fat useless pointless hole whiich had no place and space in future like phones.
                  Samsung can go very well without it and they will do.
                  Other brands will follow soon.

                  We were forced to stick with non removable batteries and here we go are forced again to live without jack. People complain and companies doesnt care.
                  Its like always same story. Words are spoken and the bread is eaten and on the end of the day noone will bother.
                  Hey its the samsung so what.
                  They have the money to do whathewer they pleases.
                  Thus the story.
                  So come and get over it. We have no choice anyway. Just to live with it.

                      First of all, that excuse is pure bullshit.

                      Now let's make some math: Note 10+ has a 4300mAh battery so that 100mAh equalts to a battery 2.32% bigger! Wow Samsung thank you!

                        A load of nonsense. I don't believe the removal of the jack has anything to do with the battery size or vibrator. But even if it did, 100 mAh can't be considered a battery upgrade if you're forced to used Bluetooth which uses a lot more power than wired audio.

                          Or maybe it's time to these companies get a big F U from customers for their stupid reasons. I'll never buy a phone without a headphone jack, so if Samsung get rid of it they'll never get another cent of my money

                            and if you want to charge and listen to music at the same time, just buy a wireless charging dock. Problem solved,

                              So what's the fuss people mad here?

                                  Screw ya Sammy. You had great phones. Keyword being "had". And I imagine there won't even be an adapter included in retail versions while the common affordable Aliexpress ones won't work with this proprietary "AKG-enhanced" abomination :P
                                  GSMA team, you too ;) Better be ranty than apologetic, especially when it comes to large scale enterprises. However "shilly" or "biased" Notebookcheck is, they usually have it right when calling out on trash moves pulled out by companies, no matter who "ordered" the article (aaand it's still not proven).

                                      What a pathetic excuse. This will be the first note that I will not buy.

                                        I would be happier with smaller battery and headphone jack.

                                        I mean I have Exynos version of S10e. I like the compact size, flat screen that's easy to protect with glass screen protector, flagship chipset (not that good like Note10 chipset tho, and you get less RAM). Not having third camera isn't that bad... but I have a headphone jack. And I use it daily. That's one of reasons why I bought it. And my battery life is doing OK.

                                        Note10 for 950€ definitley is a better phone but S10e for 450€ is a better deal.
