A few days after the end of 2016, all the high-end terminals that we expected for this year have already been presented and launched on the market. However, next year is about to start, so soon we will have new devices to keep an eye on. One of the first top that will arrive, if Samsung does not change its habits, it will be the Samsung Galaxy S8, which could be presented in February 2017, taking advantage of the celebration of the next edition of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Although the Samsung Galaxy S7It is still an object of desire for many users and although there are still several months to go, rumors and leaks are already focused on the next flagship of the Korean company. The latest rumor that has appeared on the net ensures that the Samsung Galaxy S8 will not include a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
In September Apple presented the iPhone 7 to the general public and confirmed one of the rumors that had been going on for a few months, it did not have a jack port for headphones. The apple company was betting all its cards on wireless audio; or rather almost all, because he did not dare not include headphones in a phone of almost 800 euros, so he opted to include the 3.5 mm jack to Lightning adapter. Still, the company received a lot of criticism. Now it seems that another of the largest in the sector could follow in their footsteps. New rumors ensure that the Samsung Galaxy S8 will not include a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
The news comes from SamMobile, a blog dedicated to the Korean company's teams. They assure that the company has decided to eliminate the 3.5 mm jack connector to use the USB Type-C connector that, this year, will include the Samsung Galaxy S8. Although this news may upset many users who have spent a significant amount of money on wired headphones, we do not need to throw away these devices, since it is very likely that the company includes some type of USB Type-C adapter to 3.5 mm jack.
Samsung's decision could be down to a design issue. Removing this connector will offer more space to, for example, include a higher capacity battery. Another option would be to include good stereo speakers in the terminal, an option that gains strength after the acquisition of the company Harman, a specialist in audio systems, by the Korean company.
Although the source of the news is fully convinced, it is a rumor, so we must take it with a grain of salt. However, the different leaks that have been arriving around the new Samsung terminal are outlining what the device could be like. Some rumors claim that Samsung will change the design after two years maintaining the same, a change that could come in the form of eliminating the home button to place the fingerprint reader under the screen and offer an all-glass front design..
A change in the screen diagonals is also expected, as well as the definitive step to 4K resolution. And, of course, the camera will surely be another improvement that we will see in the new Samsung Galaxy S8. At first there was talk of the possibility of incorporating a double lens, following the current trend, but recent rumors suggest that the company could continue with an improved single camera system. For now we will have to keep waiting, although surely new details are leaking that we will tell you about.
