Samsung's popular mid-range phone relies on a single USB-C 2.0 port for all wired connections, with charging maxing out at 25W via USB Power Delivery. There is no DisplayPort Alt Mode, so wired video output to a TV or monitor is not possible with this device. The headphone jack was dropped, meaning a USB-C audio adapter or Bluetooth earbuds are needed for wired listening. Wireless charging is not supported on this model either.
Samsung Galaxy Book4 Ultra (2024)
Samsung's 16-inch premium laptop targets creators and power users with dual Thunderbolt 4 ports that run at 40 Gbps and support daisy-chaining up to six devices. Both Thunderbolt 4 ports offer DisplayPort Alt Mode, enabling an 8K display or two 4K monitors simultaneously. A USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 port handles legacy peripherals at 5 Gbps, while a microSD slot provides convenient memory card access. HDMI 2.1 offers a direct cable path to high-refresh-rate monitors without adapters.
Samsung's Fan Edition offers a USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 port with DisplayPort Alt Mode, letting you connect directly to monitors and TVs with the right USB-C cable or adapter. Wired charging tops out at 25W via USB Power Delivery, reaching about 50% in roughly 30 minutes. There is no headphone jack, so plan on wireless earbuds or a USB-C audio adapter. Samsung DeX desktop mode works over the same port for a PC-like experience on a big screen.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra (2024)
Samsung’s 2024 premium flagship sports a 6.8-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED display with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and a built-in S Pen. The USB-C port runs at USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds (5 Gbps) with DisplayPort 1.2 alt mode for connecting external monitors and running Samsung DeX. Wired fast charging maxes out at 45W with a compatible PD charger, though Samsung doesn’t include one in the box. There’s no headphone jack or microSD card slot — a trade-off for the titanium frame and IP68 build.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (2025)
Samsung’s 2025 flagship packs a 6.9-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED display and the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor with an upgraded USB-C port running at USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds (10 Gbps) — double the transfer rate of its predecessor. DisplayPort 1.2 alt mode lets you connect to external monitors for Samsung DeX desktop mode over a single cable. There’s no headphone jack, but the USB-C port supports OTG for connecting wired accessories. The built-in S Pen slots into its own dedicated bay beside the USB-C port.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra (2024)
Samsung's largest tablet features a 14.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display and USB 3.2 Gen 1 connectivity at 5Gbps through its USB-C port. DisplayPort alt mode enables Samsung DeX desktop mode on external monitors, transforming the tablet into a laptop replacement. The 45W fast charging gets the massive 11,200mAh battery topped up quickly, and a microSD slot expands storage up to 1.5TB. Two USB-C ports on the bottom edge let you charge while a USB accessory is connected — a rare and practical feature.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S10+ (2024)
The 12.4-inch Tab S10+ pairs a Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with USB 3.2 Gen 1 connectivity and DisplayPort alt mode for Samsung DeX on external screens. At 5Gbps, the USB-C port handles external storage and display output, while 45W fast charging keeps the 10,090mAh battery ready for all-day use. A microSD slot adds up to 1.5TB of expandable storage — essential for creative professionals working with large files. The included S Pen and pogo-pin keyboard connector make it a productivity-focused tablet.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE (2023)
This mid-range Android tablet packs a 10.9-inch LCD display with IP68 water resistance at a budget-friendly price. Connectivity is minimal — a single USB-C 2.0 port handles both charging and data, with no DisplayPort video output support. Fast charging tops out at 45W with a compatible PPS charger, though the included cable only supports 25W. A microSD slot lets you expand the 128 or 256 GB of built-in storage, but there’s no headphone jack — you’ll need USB-C or Bluetooth audio.
This mid-range 3.1.2-channel Dolby Atmos soundbar provides one HDMI input and one HDMI eARC output, but the input is limited to HDMI 2.0b — meaning no 4K 120Hz passthrough for gaming consoles. For the best gaming experience, connect your console directly to the TV and route audio back via eARC. An optical input adds backward compatibility with older TVs that lack HDMI ARC support.
Samsung's 2024 flagship 11.1.4-channel soundbar finally adds full HDMI 2.1 passthrough with 4K 120Hz at 10-bit 4:4:4 color — a major upgrade for PS5 and Xbox Series X owners. Two HDMI inputs with 40 Gbps bandwidth handle everything from gaming consoles to Blu-ray players without forcing a direct TV connection. The eARC output delivers lossless Dolby Atmos and DTS:X from your TV's streaming apps. An optical input provides backward compatibility, though it cannot carry Atmos metadata.
At just 40 mm deep, this ultra-slim 3.1.2-channel soundbar sacrifices connectivity for form factor. The only audio connection is a single HDMI Mini (Type C) port with eARC support — Samsung includes a Mini-HDMI-to-HDMI cable in the box. There is no optical input, no HDMI passthrough, and no analog audio jack. All other media sources must connect directly to your TV, which sends audio back to the soundbar over eARC.
Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 S57CG95 57″ (2023)
This massive 57-inch super ultrawide combines two 4K displays into a single 7680×2160 curved panel with 1000R curvature. It is one of the few monitors with a DisplayPort 2.1 input, enabling full 240Hz at its native dual-4K resolution without compression. The three HDMI 2.1 ports handle consoles and other sources, though only DP 2.1 unlocks the full refresh rate. Two USB 3.0 ports provide peripheral connectivity through the integrated KVM hub.
Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 G80SD 32″ (2024)
This 32-inch 4K OLED gaming monitor pushes all three video inputs to 240Hz for buttery-smooth gameplay at full 3840x2160 resolution. HDMI 1 supports ARC and eARC, so you can pipe Dolby Atmos audio directly to a soundbar without a separate cable. A USB 3.2 Gen 1 hub provides two Type-A downstream ports through a Type-B upstream connection. Built-in Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.2 power Samsung's Smart TV platform with streaming apps, though there is no headphone jack.
