I don’t think there is anything right about removing a feature and not replacing it with anything else. I didn’t gain anything from Apple removing the headphone jack.
Got a tip for us?

Hardly. It was going to be removed at some point.
If they just kept quiet, maybe.
But they were so loud about “refusing to remove headphone jack, because they think others are wrong”.
It's not like they made a big thing about it and dropped it on the next model like Google did.
Yeah, it's a shame if it really has gone. But people are going to complain regardless, so either buy it or don't.
Nothing about this is right for the consumer until all these clowns have the same port on the bottom of their phones so there’s one standard connection for all wired headphones.
Right now my life is a mess of headphones terminating in different kinds of ends and dongles. I can’t just blindly grab a pair of earbuds out of the drawer and know they are going to work. Now I have to make sure if it’s my Pixel I’ve got the dongle or the one pair of usb c buds I own. If it’s my Samsung and I accidentally grab one of the lightning earbuds I’m going to be out of luck.
Bluetooth headphones weren’t free of latency and had other performances quality issues when Apple tried to shove everyone over to them.
Standards exist for a reason. Apple chucked a perfectly good standard prematurely as far as I’m concerned. Not right at all.
Samsung at least is doing it on the cusp of USB-C taking over even in Apple land and as Bluetooth problems are being solved.
Yes and the DxO on the S10's has not been revisited with the latest camera update so maybe nudges up a bit
Great news for those of us who live in areas that get Exynos, the current 9820 is a mess compared to the Snapdragon 855.
Note 10 coming with a new 7nm Exynos, Samsung making Snapdragon 865 on the same node

Hooorayyyy ...99.99% buying Note 10. Was good idea skipping s10. It will be my very first Note.
[doublepost=1560679218][/doublepost]Looks really really gorgeous.
i agree that there was nothing right about removing the headphone port
ive had the same issues
as you said, samsung is at least using usb-c
Wish if they were wider. Samsung phones are growing taller but not wider.
Can’t believe they’ve seemingly curved the screen even further. What actual purpose does it serve? Not even close to as bad as some of the pics I’ve seen of what some think the S11 could look like.
Not sure honestly. I was really hoping that the smaller note would have been flat screened (like the S10e). that would have been an instant buy for me.
Curve edge good for edge panel applications, that is the good stuff Samsung has put into the market. i find it useful just my opinion.
you can still use the edge panel without curved edges (s10e). Plus I always turn those off anyway when I get a samsung phone.
Ugh, I really hope the small one isnt curved, my S10e has been awesome. If it's not flat, I my just end up waiting for the Pixel 4. I just don't get why not offering a flat display option like they did with the S10e.
You don't need curved edges for edge panels. And why curve it even further as it's looking in most pics? What actual benefit does curving it even more bring?
Its just so awkward slapped right in the middle of the display like that and looks terrible from an otherwise beautiful size and looking screen. I agree, many other ways they should have gone.
