It might be false, but I think the real reason is that very few people care about a jackstick... I care, but I'm the only one I know, and I only ever hear a small group of people online talk about it being a big deal. In the end I don't think too badly about that specific decision from any phone manufacturer.

Have the s10e as well. Got it 3 months after launch and I håbe the same battery experience. I'm very impressed by it, even if the phone is starting to get a bit sluggish.
