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.

Available Ports
| Connector | Quantity | Power (PD) | Capabilities | Label | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| USB Type-C (USB 2.0) | 1 | 25 W | — | USB-C (bottom) | Data transfer (480 Mbps) and 25W PD fast charging only. No video output. |
Notes & Compatibility
No display output over USB-C. No headphone jack. No wireless charging. Hybrid SIM tray supports dual SIM or SIM + microSD, so you choose expansion or a second line, never both. The port is USB 2.0, not 3.x — 480 Mbps regardless of which cable you use, so moving a big video library off it is slow and a microSD card (up to 1TB) is the faster route. Samsung ships no charger in the box and sells the 25W Super Fast Charging adapter separately; any USB-C PD charger will work, but you need a 25W-capable one to hit the rated speed. With no headphone jack, wired listening means a USB-C headset or a USB-C-to-3.5mm adapter.
