So it's just vibrations and extra juice. What about making it IP69K? Removing a hole makes it easier to sport that ingress protection, right?
Wired audio is miles better than just these minor things. At least we still have companies who are fighting back like Asus, LG and well, that's it. Xiaomi's premium flagships (not flagship killers) don't provide headphone jacks, Oppo's flagships don't provide one too, Pixel 4 didn't have one despite fan praise for Pixel 3a because of headphone jack presence, Sony Xperia won't have one, HTC made that stupid decision and Apple still unlikely to get it back even after Jony Ive is gone.

Anders, 08 Aug 2019There is NO legitimate reason. Samsung are hypocritical A h... more100% Agree here. Stupid decisions to remove the jack and SD card. Those two features were just some of the features which set Samsung apart from the rest. Now they are just following everyone else's trends instead of sticking to what they were always good at, giving you everything you wanted in a phone... heavily dissapointed with the Note 10.

Doom, 08 Aug 2019Audio jack alone does not make a good phone. The 3.5mm jack... moreI'm sorry for your experience with your LG V20...
The thing is, I saw so many people naturally switching brand after they have one bad experience, and never looked back. One dear example is HTC, which was one big player and they messed up with camera on M7, M8 and M9....
And they just fix it on Htc10, but it's too late with so many dissapointments.
My own experience, I'm own HTC phones ever since Android invented and move briefly to Asus Zenfone5 before switch to LG V35 which I love.
I have zero complaint on my LG phone because it delivers on every aspect especially audio (well off course) and WIDE Angle camera. They're, unlike Samsung, have wider apperture 16MP f/1.9 and delivers fantastic shots.
Great audio and wide angle (back or front) are essential to me, I get that only from LG.
Pixel have wide angle selfie but their audio sucks, which a massive disaapointment knowing the google employees are ex HTC's.
So, all in all is LG for me.. V60 is my next one.
I hope this brand still survive in the midsts of fierce chinese brands competitors.

All good, better and best headphones and earphones have 3.5mm jack.
Besides this, the reasons here are next to useless. 3.5mm jack should live on as long as the quality of bluetooth is at par with wired, and price too. Or we come up with some other wirelsss tech that achieves this.
Carrying an adapter is not convenient and majority of headphone makers will not start making usb c headphones overnight.

There's something wrong with your premise: Who Sir, on this beautiful earth, gonna use phone like Note10 just for music? the answer is NOBODY.
But if I may say.. WHY can't we have it all, poweruser phone and great audio experience all in ONE device?
Its a friggin $1,000 tool, certainly it's not too much to ask, no?

Levy, 08 Aug 2019LG sound is just ok.What LG phone you based your comment?
I think LG audio from LG G6 and olders are just mediocre, even V20.
You got premium HiFi Quad DAC from V30 upwards.
They added boombox to the table since G7, too..
Only HTC matchs LG on audio departement so far as I can search

My Vivo Z1 Pro has larger battery than(5000 mAh) Note 10 & Note 10 Plus and still retains the headphone jack and has 4D Vibrations. The explanation given by Samsung hold no ground in reality. Haha.

It's quite funny reading all the posts on here.... Whilst I agree totally with people arguing about the removal of the 3.5 Jack on the Note 10, I have to say if your like the certain individual ranting about being an Audiophile and getting LG or HTC, Why may I ask Sir would you even use a phone for music? More relevantly why use a power house phone like a Note 10 for just music.
I think we as mobile phone users have become to demanding in some ways as to what our requirements are, I don't need 16 cameras on my phone and more likely that's where your space is being consumed internally.
Originally the Note series was about Productivity e.g.
Best Big Screen
Spen
Removable Battery
Micro Sd/ Removable Memory
Top Processor
Plenty of Ram
To me a decent SINGLE rear camera would be adequate enough.... I don't need a selfie or front camera ever, I'm not that vain! If I want the best pictures then I get a device for it called a DSLR camera!
What I'm saying in a nutshell is that Samsung perhaps is trying to appease the wrong market with what *some people want these days.
What makes me laugh is that many of you will still go and buy the Note 10 or Note 10+ regardless despite all your moaning.
You want the 3.5 Jack back? Make Samsung feel the pain by send them a complaint with the copy of your receipt for your new Non Samsung phone, When Samsung removed the Micro SD from the Note 5 the backlash from the consumer was amazing.
