Well, there are USB-C adapters you can plug in that give you the audio that way. Samsung use to include one.
It's kind of idiotic that an adapter is needed. Just something else to lose/break and have to carry around. Not that hard to keep a 3.5mm port on a device that large. I blame Apple.
The way I see it, if you carry wired headphones with you, you leave the adapter plugged into the headphone wire, and just plug it into your phone when you want to use it. It's not noticeable of a loss then.

This is what I do and the advantage now too using adapters is that you're getting a better DAC than you would built into the phone anyways and you can also use that adapter on other devices like laptops or desktops if you want as well. So it's kinda funny that Supercharged_Z06 has nice IEMs to use, but doesn't want to drive them properly with a decent Quad DAC adapter instead of the comparatively garbage internal DACs on Samsung (or any other non-LG) phone.
Why would you need such an expensive phone for work?I convinced my boss to buy me the Note 20 Ultra instead of an iPhone 12 Pro for work. I should have it by the 21st and will post pics/comments in this thread.
I still plan on buying the Pixel 5 for my personal phone.
But there are times I just have my phone on me and a pair of knock around wired IEMs for on the go use. It would be really nice if a $1200+ flagship phone actually had good audio internals and supported a 3.5mm jack though... just say'n.
Do you always make wild assumptions about that which you know nothing?Why would you need such an expensive phone for work?
Do you work on your phone instead of PC?
I get it that some companies have lots of money,but why spend if on useless stuff
Companies get discounts from providers. Instead of a $1k phone we have to pay, they get it for half the price a lot of times. And they also pay the old contract price not a next type of plan.
I went with the tride and true Otterbox. Those cases have served me well.
Much thinner TPU cases have served me well too, like the Supcase Unicorn Beetle cases I used on my previous two phones that fell from a roller coaster onto a concrete pad, then from another carnival ride into gravel, and countless 3-4' spills onto pavement or tile as well. I've had this Caseology TPU case on my 2 XL for over 2 years now and my phone still looks pretty new after several nasty spills (notably down a flight of concrete stairs one time) as well. It's amazing how perfectly suited the TPU material is to protecting a phone without being too thick or bulky. So those overkill/overpriced cases really never made sense to me really.
Where are you getting $1,000 trade-in value for your Note 8? Samsung only offered me $250 for mine, at which point I was like "Nah, I'm keeping this as a backup."Waiting on my ultra pre order. Trading in my note 8 64 gig for 1k off was too good to bypass. And clearly I keep a phone for 3 years also ordered the otterbox case for it. If anything it will mask the camera bump when I want to lay it flat.
Oh and I went for the 512 gig option too. Oh and I went with the black one.. The copper. Or. Bronze color was oos.
Funny story. I was telling my boss about it who's into photography. He was saying how he preferred his dslr's and they are nice. But when I mentioned 108 megapixel he stopped.. "really?". Lol
While I am not fond of removed headphone jacks, hole-punched screens, removal of the iris scanner, hideously large camera bumps when they could thicken up the entire phone to match and stuff a bigger battery in there, having to choose between 120 Hz and 1440p resolution, and wind up paying even more for the "privilege" (Note 4 was like $750 unsubsidized, Note 8 was $930 before discounts, Note 20 Ultra 512 GB is a whopping $1,450), I'm going to bite.
Why? Because the Note 8's already not getting any more feature updates (and I can't just Treble Generic System Image my way into newer versions because us Americans always get screwed with locked bootloaders) and I'm a smidge curious about 5G network performance and the reduced pen latency in 120 Hz mode. That, and Samsung's at least nice enough to offer up some store credit that I'll need for those newbeansGalaxy Buds Live they've been showing off, considering this new phone doesn't have the headphone jack.
And thank goodness said Buds Live score pretty highly from the iFixit crew, because any wireless device with a sealed battery and no wired fallback is living on borrowed time.
By the way, I'd be a bit more at ease about losing the headphone jack if we got a second USB-C port in its place, but that's apparently a bit too much to ask for the vast majority of smartphone manufacturers, never mind that these phones are starting to cost more than those much-maligned single-USB-C-and-a-headphone-jack MacBooks that need dongles to do anything useful with that one port, especially if trying to charge it at the same time.

Heck, I still have my Note 4, though seeing as it's the N910P Sprint variant and Sprint just got gobbled up by T-Mobile with the very real likelihood that CDMA's getting the axe (good riddance), it probably won't be getting 4G on anything ever at this rate.
Rest assured, I plan on some kind of comparison between the three once the Note 20 Ultra arrives.
I'm on T-Mobile, so that does me no good. Thanks for the clarification, though!The thousand dollar trade in is only from. AT&T.
Looks like mine is out for delivery today by UPS from AT&T/Samsung.
Not sure what they told you. When i spoke to ATT, they had me go thru the trade in process with a specific code to put so in that way I'll get the full 1k credit. They then sent the padded envelope to send my current phone.The provided envelope is to return the device for a refund (the Note 20). Not to trade in. If you use it to trade in your device will get lost. They send a separate label and instructions to you once your new phone is activated.

Not sure why they would send an envelope to return the Note 20.
