Samsung rumored to be working on a proprietary headphone jack

phandroid.com/2016/09/14/samsung-rumored-to-be-working-on-a-proprietary-headphone-jack/

>There’s still plenty of healthy debate to be had regarding the inevitable death of the 3.5mm headphone jack as more smartphones are released with USB Type-C ports, but a new rumor claims that Samsung may have plans to mess things up even further by introducing its own proprietary port for delivering audio. Two sources linked to Samsung’s smartphone supply chain claim that the company is “actively and aggressively” looking into proprietary headphone jack option for its devices. Unfortunately, the sources did not share any details regarding the proprietary how it would be superior to audio over USB Type-C.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHHAAHAHHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHA

*breathes*

Haha

Hilarious that Samsung thinks they have the power to do this. They aren't Apple.

is Samsung trying to destroy themselves? rocking the boat after the financial and PR disaster that is the Note 7 recall?

don't they realize they struck gold with the Note 7 and the S7? that this is what people want? (minus the explosions part)

>(minus the explosions part)

Can't really minus this part mate.

>proprietary Samsung SD cards
>proprietary Samsung headphones

Samsung is going to end up fucking themselves at this rate.

*teleports behind u and hurts u*

>>proprietary Samsung SD cards
But that was Sony

>rocking the boat after the financial and PR disaster that is the Note 7 recall?
Let's not forget the same story that happened to the S3.

Nice proprietary explosion you got there.

a headphone jack is actually useful, it is a feature
Apple is big enough to not give a fuck and just remove it to see how the market will respond, but Samsung, after the shitstorm that was the Note 7, shouldn't start playing Apple's game

if Apple is dumb enough to remove the headphone jack then Samsung, its direct competitor, should keep it in order to catch the market that Apple lost

next year Apple will bring back the headphone jack and Samsung will be left with no headphone jack and a bad reputation because of the Note 7

the funny thing is that if it happens samshill androcucks will say its the best thing ever....

why are you so into that headphone jack? You still using floppy drives??????

fuck Samsung and Apple, go /googlepixel/

There was a real, significant benefit from replacing floppy disks with USB drives.

There's no significant benefit from replacing the headphone jack with some other connector type. The design behind our headphone jacks has been used for 150 years for a reason, it works really well.

>every product except for 1-2 phones uses either 3.5 or 6.5
>le 3.5 is dead xxxxDDDD

Go shitpost on plebbit or something

Wow, blast from the past. Remember the dumbphones/first smartphones with those proprietary headset/earbuds?

Sup Forums has too long been infested with Linux ricer kiddies. It's time to purge them once and for all.

Any of the following regularly occurring threads on Sup Forums is either directly or indirectly about Linux ricing or autism:

* Intel vs. AMD threads
* GPU threads
* Various types of rig/battlestation/guts/Speccy threads ("What parts should I buy, /g?" "Is this part good, Sup Forums?" "Check out my specs, Sup Forums.")
* All Linux discussion and support threads (obviously)(which distro to use, how to rice, which anime child porn to use)

These threads only serve to discuss products for doing pointless stuff. They have nothing to do with programming, networking, security, privacy, freedom, design, usability, or anything else Sup Forums related.

These threads and the people who post within them belong in either or as they are the appropriate boards in which to discuss their hobby, along with "distro war" and "gentoo vs. arch" threads. This should be Rule #4 for Sup Forums and it should be aggressively enforced until the manchildren finally get it and move on.

This is the thread to petition Hiroshimoot to cure the /mlp/ cancer in Sup Forums. If you really care about technology and not just vapid consumerism, help by adding your voice to this discussion.

We can do it, Sup Forums.

lincucks don't care about technology in general.

All they care about is the rice, not the method. Pony pictures is and the method is .

Products are GPU shitstorms, speccy threads, guts threads, casing threads etc.

A typical lincuck's perception of judging a GPU is nothing because lincuck has no games or programs.

None of the ricer lincuckolds are interested in the method or process of making games. Game is not technology, programming games is.

Ricing is not technology and neither is discussing which build will look the best with anime theme.

Lincuckolds do not care about privacy and cryptology. They are more invested in anime child porn.,

Is there much room for improvement currently past 3.5mm? The apple method seems rather stupid but could a new standard be made that other devices could switch to to actually improve quality?

wireless

No

>why does technology advances boo hoo

SAMSHIT IS FINISHED & BANKRUPT

We'll see whether this "advances" technology.

A lot of "advanced" technology ends up as a doorstop. See: every "advanced" console that wasn't by Nintendo, Sega, Microsoft, or Sony.

>samsung represents android
try next time user

You might as well axe 3/4 of those companies in today's market.

Not really, not as long as you're connecting to a single pair of drivers. If headphones had multiple drivers dedicated to different ranges, you could probably come up with a better design than TRS/TRRS, but as it is it's already a pretty elegant solution. The jack itself is nearly indestructible, failures basically never occur in the plug itself, they're always at the solder point or the cord. It only has one way to insert the jack for proper usage and it works independent of rotation. It stays firmly in the socket thanks to the tip design.

If it has any flaw, it's that you have to maintain pressure in the socket on the jack or else you might lose connection, and poorly sized jacks can sometimes be loose, either tripping device-removal circuits in phones or causing scratching noises in the audio as the plug is turned around. This is more a problem with the socket than the jack, though, and not all devices have this problem. Also, like I said, the solder points and cord itself are vulnerable to breaks. Solder/cable vulnerability is going to be an issue with any physical connection though.

We used to have this, we progressed. Nobody is gonna accept that regression, sorry.

b-but android have never ever copied apple
didn't apple start the high dpi trend? Like the retina is from 2010, back then android screens were worse

people only want to remove headphone jacks because they want to sell water resistance as a feature even though pretty much nobody was clamoring for it

I saw the note 7 yesterday. That whole side screen business is pretty Nifty, I have to say I wouldn't mind it.

But I ain't fucking with no Samsung product. I knew from the moment they released those cheap plasticy nexus phones after the n1 they were no good.

Why not make two type C ports if you REALLY want to get rid of 3.5.

Why not use this?
