How much did Samsung pay Slashdot for this Ad?
"They both have USB-C ports, and a headphone jack."
Well done Samsung.
Worth the price of admission all by itself.
When all you have is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a thumb.
The bottom line: with a headphone jack, no notch, and one or two hundred dollars under Apple's prices with twice the storage, Samsung will eat Apple market share. Plus, Apple fanboy Google and every Android OEM that went with the ugly as sin notch has to switch to copying Samsung now.
Headphone jack FTW.
