It has become a trend for smartphone manufacturers to make their smartphones slimmer and slimmer while at the same time adding in a ton of new features to them. This has lead to the inevitable removal of the 3.5mm headphone jack from most of these smartphones. Though you might not find a headphone jack on the latest generation of Apple iPhones, the same can't be said about the below listed top-tier Android smartphones.
Samsung Galaxy Note 9
Samsung recently launched its latest flagship smartphone globally, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9.
