Hello @Nguyễn Hoàng Tùng and may I extend a Warm Welcome to the Samsung Community Forum 👋 

Your phone will have a 2 year manufacturer's warranty ,so as long as the phone shows no aesthetic damage or water sensor trip then Yes Samsung will assess the phone to repair under the Manufacturer'sWarranty.

If there was to be a charge then Samsung would contact you for authorisation to proceed. 

You have carried out some good troubleshooting steps already.  👍

There is the diagnostic tool found in your Samsung Members App to see if that highlights anything. 

Also there is > Clear Cache Files from the phone's System Partition Section  > https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-do-i-clear-the-cache-on-my-device/ You may need to insert your earphones or hook upto a powered On Laptop or use a Tv's USB Port to access the Clear Partition Section. This may help with lag or stutters as this clears the phone of old/unused or broken cache files.There is also a Repair Apps option in the Menu System too { Possibly excluding the s²⁴ Series of phone's } 

Feedback can be sent to Samsung via the Samsung Members App too for samsung to analyse and possibly reply with help. 

And as a very last resort back up and factory reset.

If i can be of any further help please don't hesitate to ask  😎

The advice I offer is my own and does not represent Samsung’s position.
I'm here to help. " This is the way. "

Thanks for providing an opinion. But it's needed to know what's going on. Technically speaking, your phone isn't better.

Well, samsung must've removed the feature for a reason. I haven't seen them in any phones since

You can use the charging input. There is no reason for us to argue over a headphone jack
