Anonymous, 08 Nov 2021I feel like headphone jack is actually more useful than mic... moreMicro SD is very convenient.
Got new phone? Put sd card in it and all your stuff is there in seconds.

If Samsung is doing this to try and boost their wireless earbud sales, do they realize that people who buy mid-range devices are probably not going to spend 100's of dollars on Samsung's flagship earbuds, but rather buy an older device or choose a competitor? There are many, many good options out there (such as Anker's earbuds) (Research yourself on R-tings) that won't burn a hole in your wallet.
Anyone here have a mid-ranger and Samsung's earbuds? I don't.

Dometalican, 08 Nov 2021....why did they buy Harmon/Kardon?For profit and if by any chance mobile business fails they can get profit from other parts
And Harman Kardon is a huge company including things like akg,jbl etc

I love the headphone jack, and considering that most of the comments are about it too, it's clear that many consumers still want the headphone jack. GSMArena should have a poll about it one of these weeks to show manufacturers that customers still want it

I sometimes wonder whether the people at Samsung don't think or are just plain stupid. Sales of the S series declined steadily since S9/S10, as they removed features.
S21 was one of the worst selling S phones. A52 was their best selling device, and now they go sabotage it?

This is extremely disappointing news. I will still wait until release, but if this is true, I will just stop buying Samsung phones altogether and find a competitor that includes a headphone jack. I used to buy the S-series flagships until they removed the expandable storage and headphone jack, but I will also stop buying the A series if this is true. If the phone does not have a headphone jack or expandable storage, I will not buy it. No exceptions. It is less convenient to carry a dongle around, especially one that can charge and route audio through at the same time. Also, the expandable storage is helpful in case your phone has a HW failure, and your card is unencrypted, you still have all your files on the sd card. Or, you can expand your storage without paying a fortune or relying on cloud services (which I do not).
I was looking forward to see how the AMD graphics Exynos chips would perform, but now this would be irrelevant to me. Goodbye Samsung. It's sad to see it end this way due to your greedy ironic business practices. (Remember when they made fun of apple for removing the headphone jack and included charger, but deleted those ads when they did the same?)

anonymous., 08 Nov 2021Galaxy A52s currently price 36K base varient A53 40K A73... moredude samsung is far from falling down and they'll hold that #1 spot for a long time. Look what happened when a chinese company tried to claim the number 1 spot, they got hit with a google ban. Xioami and Apple are battling it out for number 2 but no ones overtaking Samsung. Plus sammy also posted their earnings the other week and they broke records

Capitalism at its creepy worst -infinite greed and denial of all choices to consumers! You either buy the crap they offer or beat it, they don't give a damn.

Also want to remind people that the headphone jack and micro SD slot are extremely mature, extremely cheap components to include. They were being included on sub $50 phones from at least 7 years so... They are that that cheap to incorporate!
Their removal only takes value away from the consumer. For the manufacturer, it costs nothing to include.
