My Samsung S10 5G has a headphone jack and is waterproof.

There is no way in hell my next phone won't have a headphone jack either.

Bluetooth is a low audio quality latency filled shitshow, not to mention two more things to charge, and dongles are crap.

I guess that’ll be your last Samsung then, considering they too dropped the headphone jack after mocking Apple for doing so.

Unfortunately yes, it will be.

I like Samsung hardware but I can't go without the headphone jack.

I like large phones, so I'll probably end up with an Asus ROG phone, but they're slightly chunkier than I'd like, and I'm not really a fan of the "gaming" aesthetic.
