Samsung Galaxy Fold has a missing feature that might be a deal-breaker for you

published 23 February 2019

The Samsung Galaxy Fold has been revealed by Samsung alongside the Galaxy S10 and while the foldable screen is stunning, there is a negative, the lack of headphone jack.

What's missing, unfortunately, is a 3.5mm headphone jack. Yup, this is the future and it appears that even Samsung now thinks that future holds little room for wired headphones. With aptX enabled Bluetooth headphones you don't even have to sacrifice much sound quality these days, so losing the headphone jack may not be that painful.

On top of that Samsung has also ditched the microSD expansion slot to make enough room for this phone to stay as slim as possible. So you'll likely have to spend big if you want maximum storage.

The Samsung Galaxy Fold will cost €2,000 in Europe and will be available May 3, 2019.
