According to some online reports, believe that South Korean smartphone giants, Samsung Corp. might ditch '3.5mm Headphone Jack' on it's upcoming Galaxy S8, joining the list of smartphones that have abandoned the 3.5mm headphone jack. This means that all the existing headphones will not be compatible with the flagship unless when you are to use a USB Type-C adapter the phablet is to feature as one of it's specs. This also means that you won't be able to plug in the Galaxy S8 and use wired headphones at the same time.

Aside from ditching the Headphone Jack, other reports claim that the smartphone markers might also abound the 'Home Button' while the front camera (selfie cam) will come with the auto-focus feature.

Source claim that the removing of the Headphone Jack enables Samsung to make the Galaxy S8 thinner while also freeing up more space inside for a bigger battery.

The Samsung Galaxy Note7 (S820) Review

This year has been difficult for smartphones, which is a bit of a paradox when you consider just how much better things have gotten compared to last year. With Snapdragon 820, 650, 652, and 625 we've finally moved past the shadow of the Snapdragon 810, 808, and 617/615. While there were Android devices that shipped with the Exynos 7420, they were often paired with a modem that was not necessarily the most power efficient.
