Even though Samsung removed the 3,5mm headphone jack port from its high-end smartphones a few years ago, it still used it on some low-end phones Galaxy. So if you're already using the company's flagship phone released in mid-2019 or later, you probably already understand that the upcoming series Galaxy The S23 will not include a 3,5mm headphone port. And that's not all she'll miss. 

If you're new to the world of high-end phones and planning to upgrade from a budget phone to a range Galaxy S23, you might need a quick rundown of what you'll lose (though of course you'll gain a lot more). Top Samsung phones and most other budget phones Galaxy the middle class no longer uses the 3,5mm audio standard. So if you were planning to use your existing 3,5mm wired headphones with the range Galaxy S23, the only option is to have a USB-C adapter for it.

You can choose the answer to why Samsung cut this standard from their entire range. Someone will tell you that they are after Apple, who was the first to remove it from the iPhone. Another will tell you that Samsung wanted to jump into selling wireless headphones, and removing the 3,5mm standard was a clear condition to condition better sales. In the end, it could also be due to the increased water resistance of the device, or the fact that the 3,5 mm port is simply too large for modern smartphones and can rob them of space that requires additional functions (larger batteries, etc.).

Absence of 3,5 mm jack port in the series Galaxy The S23 doesn't have to be a problem, especially if you buy new phones as part of pre-orders. Here it can be guessed that the company will give away wireless headphones to them Galaxy Buds2 Pro Free. After all, this will somehow excuse the fact that you won't find any headphones in the phone package.

Why is the charger missing? 

Speaking of packaging, you won't even find a power adapter in it. Samsung, like other manufacturers, has minimized their phone packaging as much as possible, so that in them you will find practically only the phone and the power cable. You must have your own adapter, i.e. the charger, or you must purchase it. They justify this step mainly by the fact that the smaller package has less demands for transportation, when more phone boxes can fit on the pallet and thus the carbon footprint is reduced.

At the same time, the manufacturers mention that it is very likely that everyone has a charger at home. By not packaging it, they reduce the generation of electronic waste. But we all probably know very well that it's about money. By stacking several phones in one shipment, the manufacturer saves on transport, by not giving out chargers "free" in the package but by selling them, it just makes money.

Where is the memory card slot? 

Phones with AndroidThe highest-end ems resisted for a long time before succumbing to the removal of the memory card slot. Apple iPhone he never had it, and he was also blamed for it by the users Androidu often criticized. In recent years, however, Samsung has established the same trend, i.e. that it simply removed the memory card slot from its top line.

When buying a phone, you must choose the capacity of the internal storage appropriately, because otherwise it will easily happen that you will run out soon and you will not be able to get more. Practically, the only option is to use cloud storage, but they are paid. 

At the time when these "restrictions" became public, they caused quite a stir. In 2007, memory cards were very popular, but all iPhone users learned to live without them. When Apple in 2016, he removed the 7 jack port from the iPhone 7 and 3,5 Plus, everyone shook their heads. Today, however, everyone wears TWS headphones and praises their practicality. We will not stop progress, and what is unnecessary, outdated and impractical simply has to go and we have to accept it, because we have nothing else left.
