Those of you familiar with the Galaxy S line know that previous versions have always had the headphone jack on the top of the device. On the S6 & S6 Edge, Samsung has moved the 3.5mm jack to the bottom of the phone.
Does this concern you? Do you prefer the jack to be on the top of the device, or on the bottom? Or do you utilize Bluetooth only and so it's not a concern?
Being that my previous 3 smartphones have been Galaxy S models, I'm used to the placement being on top. I typically spend 45 min to an hour on my device each night before bed catching up on news, YouTube, etc....so having the device in hand, with the jack on top makes for a much more comfortable viewing experience. That said, I do typically turn my device horizontally to view videos, in which case it's not really a concern, but I do think it would bother me if I had to switch now.
My first gen Nexus 7 has the headphone jack on the bottom and I find it frustrating because the cord often gets in the way when holding the device vertically.
What are your thoughts? Do you prefer the top or the bottom when it comes to the headphone jack placement on your device? Will this in any way affect your decision to purchase the S6?
