Samsung's Upcoming Galaxy S8 Flagship Smartphone Won't Have a Headphone Jack: Report (sammobile.com)
Samsung is planning to ditch headphone jack in its next flagship smartphone, called the Samsung Galaxy S8, reports SamMobile, a Samsung-focused blog that has a pretty good track record with these things. From the report: Removing the 3.5mm headphone jack enables Samsung to make the Galaxy S8 thinner while also freeing up more space inside for a bigger battery. Samsung may also integrate stereo speakers which some believe will be made in collaboration with Harman, a company that Samsung is acquiring for $8 billion.
The burn victims?
Steve Jobs?

Apple should sue Samsung for copying the iPhone...oh wait
Yeah! People, stop fat-shaming my one year old phone! It's not how thin your phone is, wide phones can be beautiful too.
It's the hardware inside that counts.

I can't believe we're sitting here, I'm 37 years old, and I'm finally getting stereo speakers. It's about time. I can't wait to turn 50, and get a headphone jack.
Guess who's not buying an S8?
The burn victims?
I wouldn't blame them for lacking the, uh, courage.
If it weren't for deadlines, nothing would be late.

With a username like Oswald McWeany, you don't have to.

It really is disingenuous to fat shame phones. Samsung unequivocally proved that no-one wants a hottie smart phone.
I am Slashdot. Are you Slashdot as well?
It's gonna die whether anyone wants it to or not.
Deader than LP's in England, no doubt. ;)
