The USB Type C has bow been granted the Android Device Class 3.0 specification by the USB Implementers Forum, this means that manufacturers can remove the 3.5mm audio jack from their handsets and use USB Type C instead.
Samsung will probably introduce this with the launch of the Galaxy S8 and S8 Edge which are expected to launch in 2017.
