                  I bought this phone because as far as I could see, it had a decent spec while still having as having dual sim + SD card capability which I needed, and I still wanted a headphone port! But a warning for anyone who still likes using wired headphones -- this model seems to have problems with regular headphones with TRS jacks.

                  I have a regular, TRS pair (no microphone) and since I got the phone it has had this problem. It happens with any sounds, but is most noticeable when listening to quiet music. Once the volume of the music drops below a certain level, there is a noticeable "pop" or cutout of silence. The volume then comes back, but this results in a continual cutting out and coming back as the music plays on. It's noticeable and very distracting.

                  The strange thing about it is that it's not related to the media volume level. The level below which a cutout happens is "absolute" - if you turn the phone volume up then the cutouts will not happen until the sound gets to a quieter part of the song. If you turn the phone volume down, then the cutouts happen even during loud parts of the song.

                  The problem happens with music apps playing local songs, YouTube, and even system notifications. It seems to happen with any sound that plays at all. The only app that doesn't trigger the issue, weirdly, is the radio.

                  Here's the thing - I only have this problem with headphones having TRS jacks. On TRRS headsets with a microphone, the problem doesn't happen.

                  I have tried several sets of headphones and they all have this issue. I have tried my headphones on two brand new A24 demo models in the shops, and they also show the same issue. However, the issue doesn't happen with A23 5G models in the shops. My headphones work fine absolutely everywhere else.

                  On top of this, if I use a TRRS to TRS connector on the "working" headset (with a microphone,) then the problem also happens with them! And finally, I bought a TRS to TRRS plug and connected my non-working headphones to it, and then they work fine! I do still need to "jiggle" the plug of ease it in in a special way, but once done, the headphones work and there is no problem. It is disappointing that such a basic feature doesn't work right with this model.

                  I took the phone to the Samsung store and explained the issue, and basically, they said it's my fault for buying a cheap phone and using wired headphones. And let's face it, there's some truth to that. Otherwise, this phone was a good purchase. Battery life is good as reported. I sprang for the 6GB and don't regret it.
