The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 has finally been revealed, and yes, it looks gorgeous. Like its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Flip 5, the new model should push the revitalized flip smartphone market closer to the mainstream. The biggest additions to the Galaxy Z Flip 6 are its new cameras and improved battery life. It also contains the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip found in the Galaxy S24 series, including the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

The new Galaxy Z Flip 6 will grab attention for its design in a phone market segment that was nearly obsolete just a few years ago. But did it bring back older technology, such as a 3.5-inch headphone jack? Does Samsung’s latest flip phone include a headphone jack, or does the Z Flip 6 continue the trend of omitting this once-essential port? Let’s find out.

Unfortunately, no — the Galaxy Z Flip 6 does not have a headphone jack. That isn’t surprising, considering that Samsung has not included one in its top-tier phones since the Galaxy S10 five years ago, but it’s still worth pointing out regardless.

While it was expected that the Galaxy Z Flip 6 would not have a headphone jack, it’s good to have confirmation. This doesn’t mean you can’t listen to your favorite tunes, videos, and other multimedia on the phone; you just can’t use traditional headphones that require a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The Galaxy Z Flip 6 offers several ways to listen to content. The simplest method is using a Bluetooth connection with any of the best earbuds or best headphones on the market. You can choose a pair from Samsung or from other brands as long as they support Bluetooth, allowing you to pick the best option. The days of premium pricing for wireless earbuds are over, and now you can find high-quality options at various price points.

If you prefer using wired headphones with your phone, you can use a USB-C to 3.5mm dongle. These dongles are inexpensive and require you to plug one end into your phone’s USB-C port and the other into your headphones.

If headphones aren’t your thing, there are also terrific Bluetooth speakers on the market that you can use to listen. These speakers also come at various prices to match your budget.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 series has finally launched, and once again, none of the models in the lineup can be considered budget-friendly. Whether you choose the entry-level Galaxy S25, the mid-range Galaxy S25 Plus, or the high-end Galaxy S25 Ultra, these phones come with a hefty price tag. Therefore, it’s essential to understand the conditions they can withstand.

The Galaxy S25 series is equipped with the all-new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which offers notable improvements in speed and efficiency. These devices come with enhanced vapor chamber cooling to maintain performance and Qi2 wireless charging for quicker power-ups, and they operate on the new One UI 7 software, which includes AI-powered personalization features. The designs are understated, blending familiar aesthetics with upgraded hardware and innovative software capabilities.

Samsung had another exciting lineup of flagship smartphones to show off at this week’s Galaxy Unpacked event. Although there weren’t too many surprises, this year’s Galaxy S25 models take the lineup to new heights with a more refined aesthetic for the Galaxy S25 Ultra and more power and longer battery life across the board, thanks to Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chip.

Nevertheless, Samsung leaves us with one nagging question when it introduces each year’s latest Galaxy S series models: will this year mark the return for the headphone jack? Bluetooth headphones may be all the rage these years, and Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 3 Pro make a great companion for the company’s high-end smartphones, but some folks still understandably prefer wired connections for greater reliability and higher sound quality.
