Feature Request: Bring back the micro SD and IR blaster to high end phones

[docdepp]

Samsung should return the micro SD and ir blaster

[patriciostarr]

Agree, and headphone jack but we know they are not going to bring those features back.

[MissyLippy]

They did away with headphone jack bc it was the only thing that was still analog on a phone, also doing away with it made it easier to make thinner phones

[patriciostarr]

Disagree the s24u is not a thin. Even thinner phones had headphone jacks.

[MissyLippy]

Samsung removed the headphone jack primarily to make space for other components within the increasingly thin phone bodies, allowing for larger batteries, better waterproofing, and more advanced features while pushing consumers towards using wireless Bluetooth headphones instead; this trend is also driven by the desire to create thinner, more sleek designs and innovate with new technology.

In that case i could say they removed sd card slot to make more room.
Since 2020 i have not seen samsung making thinner or new designs for their models. Smaller phones like asus still have headphone jacks and sd card but samsung with 6.8 inch devices dont

And yet the battery size hasn't increased in the past 4 or 5 years.........................

[ImRyan]

They said they were getting rid of the headset 3.5 for bigger batteries. That was obviously a lie 🤥 since the batteries are the same for the past 4 years. S22, s23, S24 and the upcoming s25 are all going to be 5,000 mah and if they removed it for bigger batteries where are they? You can see for yourself on GSM arena

[patriciostarr]

Exacly s20u and forward have 5,000 mah batteries

Bigger as in size wise. Ie, shape. It's only a headphone hole, although I missed it at first, I'll stick with non wired and extremely better sound
