According to a new report, Samsung may ditch the headphone jack and buttons from its upcoming Galaxy Note 10.
Often praised as a steadfast holdout amongst smartphone manufacturers for its refusal to cave to handset trends that negatively impact the end user (i.e. removing the 3.5mm headphone jack), it now seems Samsung is planning to do just that, if a new report from Android Police is to be believed.
Citing a „source familiar with the company’s plans“, the site is reporting that Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Note 10 may finally (and regrettably) ditch the headphone jack that it’s held onto for so long.
Additionally, the report states that Samsung may also drop all physical buttons from the Galaxy Note 10, including volume and power keys, opting instead to use „capacitive or pressure-sensitive areas“ which may or may not be „highlighted by some kind of raised ‚bump‘ and/or texture along the edge.
