That's good news - the headphone jack is essential to me, but the reason that my next phone won't be a Samsung is because Samsung disables Android's native multiple user profile feature.

And they insist on adding their garbage replacement apps instead of just using the stock Android ones. I never understood why mfgs insist on doing that. Why make a worse app that can't be uninstalled?

I just put all that stuff into a drawer in the launcher called 'zzzzzzzzz'. I never see it and never think about it.

There is a rootless app that you can install that lets you uninstall the bloatware samsung apps. Can't remember the name of it but it isn't hard to find.

It's sad that Samsung cripples their good hardware with crap software.

Thankfully many of their phones can run aftermarket operating systems.
