series but sadly for some, a 3.5mm headphone jack isn’t one of them. We know many will wonder if the Galaxy S21 has a headphone jack before they decide to buy the phone.

It’s a legitimate question. Samsung wasn’t that quick to ditch the headphone jack on its flagship smartphones compared to some of its rivals. However, the company has now well and truly made the switch.
