I held on to my Note9 for as long as I could, but I think in a few months I’ll switch to S24 Ultra. While I’m excited for the better camera, I’ll be missing some features like the heart rate sensor, simulated home button, microSD slot, iris scanner. But the thing I’ll miss the most is the 3.5 mm jack.
While in general I’m not against bluetooth headphones, I still have 3 good wired pairs of headphones and I’ll be using them with a 3.5 to USB-C adapter until they stop working, which might take a while. What worries me the most is the fact that I’m running a lot, with my phone in my pocket and listening to music via the headphones. And I don’t mean some light jogging, I’m running fast, my phone is jumping in my pocket and I’m worried that this might damage the USB-C port on the phone.
What was your experience when you switched to the phone without the jack? Did you get used to it easily or did you miss it?
My samsung s23 ultra has a mental battery so I can count on a finger the times I’ve need to listen to music and charge. Different story when I had my S20 which was 3 years old 😄. However in terms of my kit I have also bought some Samsung buds pro and I have 2 pairs of usb c headphones.
