Call me pedantic, but I was reading the specs, enjoying it and saying "oh, maybe this is the next phone for me once my Nexus 6 dies", I was even ready to spend upwards of $700 (so much money) to get it compared to my usual sub-500 price generally.
Then they said it had no headphone jack. That stopped me dead in my tracks, I closed the tab, and am now writing this comment here.
Sorry guys, I MUST. Have. A. Headphone. Jack. Full stop.
EDIT: Put some parentheses.
- screye 9y agoTake a look at the new one plus phone that is about to be released. It is heavily.implied that it will have a headphone jack. Should be sub 600$ and if my OP3T is any indication the software experience and lasting ability of their devices certainly up there with any other major manufacturer. Cons: Chinese company, so you never know who is looking at your data. They do let you root and unlock bootloaders, though. So there is that. You need to install the Google pixel camera app to get camera performance that matches other flagships. Thankfully my 3T got the app ported without root and I would expect the same for the new upcoming phone.
- MrMember 9y agoI won't even consider buying a phone without a headphone jack. To me it would be like buying a computer without USB ports. The technology is decades old, still works perfectly, and there isn't a suitable replacement for it yet.
- peterbraden 9y agoI agree. This is a user-hostile trend that needs to stop. I really hope the phone does terribly so the company realizes that they need to listen to their users.
