Our inevitable march through time continues apace, meaning yet another popular smart phone -- this time, the Samsung's Galaxy Note 10 -- is bidding goodbye to its headphone jack and going full dongle.

Website SamMobile was the first to share a photo of what's allegedly the new 3.5mm to USB-C dongle that will be included with the upcoming Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+, confirming what we've been hearing for a while now.

The Note 10 will join the likes of the iPhone and some of Google's Pixel models (except for the 3a) in abandoning the headphone jack in favor of DONGLE LIFE.

We're also expecting other features like a center-aligned hole-punch selfie camera, an improved S Pen stylus, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor.

The time for speculation about all of the new Note 10 features is almost over, though, as we'll finally get a look at the new iteration of Samsung's big release at its upcoming Unpacked event on August 7.
