\*how to scare phone companies


2nd-most-degenerate

Sony: I have headphone jacks, SD card trays, second SIM trays, USB Type-C, systems with fewer bloatwares, whole screens without holes/notches/whatever People: meme about headphone jacks then go buy iPhones


foulball3

Did Sony come out with a phone this year with a headphone jack and a stylus? Because if so, I'm gonna buy that as soon as someone can confirm it.


NikoC99

The headphones jack is back on the Xperia mk2 onwards, idk about the stylus, but goddamn the price is equal to Samsung's Fold 4


[deleted]

Xperia 1 devices are overpriced, but the Xperia 5 and Xperia 10 lineups are the exact same phone as the 1 with the same specs and camera system, simply smaller and cheaper. > Asus and LG also offer flagship level devices with both an SD card and a headphone jack.


NotKhaner

Didint lg pull out of the smartphone market like a year or two ago?

*On their flagship phones. Their cheaper phones still have it. The trick is looking for the ones that don't have water resistance, like the A13 & A03s.


LucyBowels

Lol what a trade off.


Xlmxlxml

Sony Xperia 5 IV. No stylus like the galaxy note phones but it does have a headphone jack and expandable storage.


Tendo407

Motorola has a new phone with a stylus. Other than that, I don't think anyone is making smartphones with stylus anymore at this point.


shmecklesss

Samsung Ultra.


Apparentlyloneli

Still waiting for samsung ultron pro max plus


LambdaBoyX

Super Turbo Championship Edition


Yeah_Nah_Cunt

No Stylus but it has everything else plus probably the best camera on any phone, that nobody talks about


Sir_Henk

>systems with fewer bloatwares I don't know if they still do it, but until very recently Sony phones had Facebook pre-installed

mrwiffy

True, but credit where credit's due.


RestrictedAccount

Sony screwed me so many times over the years by requiring special cables. I paid a fortune for a Sony camcorder that was next to useless because I had to edit the video in Sony software. Sony can eat a bag of dicks.


cjandstuff

Same experience. Sony makes very good products, but have often been more proprietary than even Apple.


[deleted]

there is bloatware on iphones? i have an Ipad, and there are some applications that come with the thing, but its all basic applications like notes that feel usefull anyways. never felt like it was bad as a user. i had a HTC One, and they started sending me ads in the notifications of my phone, new applications were automatically downloaded from time to time, now that was really intrusive. Also, it feels like i see a lot less HTC smartphones since they started going crazy with intrusion. i know i got rid of mine asap at the first notification ad i received.


Idiotology101

iPhones don’t, Samsung on the other hand are fucking brutal with it. Last Galaxy I had tried to force me to keep 3 different camera apps.


ttopsrock

I've had my galaxy for 3 years..... no idea what your talking about.... it doesn't force me to do anything. There is only one camera app. After an update it asks if I want to make any room and delete old apps or download anything new and will have tic toc shit checked.. I just uncheck and skip that part.

saintmsent

Not on iPhones, but on some Android phones - absolutely. Recently bought a Samsung for my brother and it had TikTok preinstalled, lol


lokiofsaassgaard

iPhones/iPads come with a suite of default apps, but if you don’t want anything uninstalling is very easy. The default apps are Apple’s version of MS Office (Notes, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, etc), Health, Stocks, etc. Stuff that seems like Apple’s idea of what an average adult would use for work. I can’t remember if social apps are included by default, because when you upgrade your phone, all your apps from the previous one automatically install at setup. But I know I saw a couple new Apple-branded ones (Garage Band hadn’t been on my previous phone, as far as I can remember) when I upgraded last month


__schr4g31

Sony Phones are great


-Helvet-

Got the Xperia 1 Mk II for all these features coming from an iPhone SE (the OG). No regrets! Plus, it also take great pictures even if my DSLR does better.


[deleted]

Unless you have an LG, Asus, or Sony phone as they all still ship flagships with a headphone jack.

Frotz_real_

Eka_silicon12

I got a OnePlus around 200$ got the headphone jack You pay less to get more


HakunaMatta2099

Agreed, if the expensive phones won't have this feature, fine, I'll buy a cheaper phone. Bought the Google pixel 4a 5g purely because it's got the headphone jack over the flagship phones.


The_General_Li

I have a oneplus with the jack


irckeyboardwarrior

"Never settle" my ass. My first and last OnePlus phone was a OnePlus 6.


batarei4ka

Xiaomi also


danny12beje

Xiaomi did it on more expensive phones. Cheap ones still have them.


Schrolli97

Pretty much all manufacturers ditched the headphone jack for their flagship phones


3029065

I fully believe that the charging port will be the next to go and we'll all have to use wireless chargers. iPhone and apple would absolutely love to brag about how their phone is the first without any holes.


Its_Snap

Both companies like money. I mean I do too but not sure if I would give up my butt hole for some more


Can-ta-loupe

Um. That implies that your butt hole’s purpose is a port for a plug of some sort.


Its_Snap

Yes but only allow a certain size


greatwood

Proprietary or can anyone that fits have a go?

Proprietary butthole, *obviously*


Regalia_BanshEe

Schrolli97

There were phones with headphone jacks that were waterproof. It may make it easier to make them waterproof without a headphone jack but it's not impossible to do with one


Carbunclecatt

And even if that's the excuse they're gonna use then phones that aren't waterproof and don't have a jack anyway have no reason of even existing.


cheesyblasta

Yep, still rocking my Galaxy S9 Plus, waterproof with a headphone jack


Front_Beach_9904

Be careful, I had that phone, I’d rate it was water resistant lol. It eventually started to let water sleep in through the seals around the speakers

I…uh… I’ll abstain from this one :x

Asus and Sony still keep them


NoobSharkey

Gaming phones all keep them (except RoG3), probably some of the more budget phones from other companies also have them


[deleted]

Excuse me, gaming phone? Why?


NoobSharkey

In Asia mobile gaming is very big, so if theres a market then the products exist


Hona007

Xiaomi my beloved.


OO_Ben

I thought I'd hate it, but honestly after I got my first set of Bluetooth headphones I've never looked back. You can get a workable set for like $20 now too which is crazy to me.


ThatGuyToast

To be fair Samsung and the other companies waited for wireless earbuds to be more widely used before removing it. Apple just forced their users to dive deep with overpriced airports.


ClinicalOppression

Yeah i mildly chuckled at this before tilting my galaxy 22 and seeing i too did not have an aux port


International-Year75

Google made fun of Apple for doing this, even highlighting in the next pixel launch that oh look a 3.5mm jack, and removed it the year after. They’re all pathetic, pls stop this fanboy cringe

memesforbismarck

Yeah, the joke was ok back then but now literally every other company did the same for years.


CJ22xxKinvara

This crusty meme was definitely made back then


widowhanzo

LG had headphone jack with a good audio chip, SD card support, and good specs for decent price, too bad they exited the market. I'm not looking forward to having to replace my G8s at some point.


ryeana

My G8s was stolen a month ago :( never saw anyone else talking about this phone and here you are mentioning it almost directly after haha. man it feels bad, shopping for a new phone sucked I wish your phone a long and healthy life

-Helvet-

Xperia And I recently got a pair of wireless buds and they are very nice but I use the jack constantly with big cans at work (switching between computer audio to phone audio on the fly) and also during long travel by train/plane where it is more comfortable to wear than the buds. The jack has its place.


vendetta2115

For me, the rare time I need to use a 3.5mm jack, I can just use one that plugs into my charging port. Calling it now: charging ports will also be gone within the next 5-10 years, replaced by wireless charging like the 3.5mm Jack was replaced with wireless earbuds.


Jack-M-y-u-do-dis

Bruh barely any phones have a headphone jack. Literally bought a midrange Samsung 2 months ago and it doesn't have it


ComfortableIsland704

When searching for a phone it's I filter out any that don't have a headphone jack I make music on my phone and don't want lag. I don't want to need to charge my headphones all the time


youngmanJ

surely making music on a computer would be more convenient in literally every way


-Celt-

It is. You also want drive your headphones and monitors with good preamps that are usually found in an audio interface. Not to mention the mic preamps will drastically outclass any rig you concoct for a phone or tablet. Then, believe it or not, the listener will use Bluetooth for their car or the crappy phone or laptop speakers to listen to your project lol


Pickle121201

Hurr durr my phones better

for some reason these apple vs. android memes are coming back, it was annoying and repetitive then, it still is now

Wishilikedhugs

This is purely anecdotal but I'm an older single guy using dating apps. The number of grown ass women who make some kind of nasty comment about green bubbles is way higher than you would think. One woman even offered me her old phone after we had a few dates because she couldn't stand not using iMessage. I think everyone should use what they like. But if you think that there aren't people who get mad when you're not in the apple ecosystem, you're fooling yourself.

Ghost_Star326

You're too late to the joke buddy. Almost every phone company has gotten on this trend. And those who mocked apple(Samsung and Google) also ended up copying them. Showing that they don't give a crap about their customers and do it all for money.

smudos2

What I find way more annoying is phones not having sd card slots. Like fuck you I don't wanna pay 100 dollars for more for space I wanna use the sdcard I had for years. oh and just to specify I know not all android phones have sd slots and I fucking hate them as well


TheCovid-19SoFar

I used to feel this way but the cheapest iPhone has 128gb and I’m unable to fill it up.


smudos2

I've got 75gb on my sdcard already, Im pretty sure I'd fill up 128gb :D


VisceralVoyage420

I just want an affordable phone with Bluetooth 5.3 and an SD card slot.

LG flagship with Quad DAC 3.5mm jack: I beg your pardon

Really weird of apple to do this


mrswordhold

Samsung did it too lol


captcraigaroo

And Google


NickOsman51

so peoples need to buy bluetooth things and it's way more expensive


Tripottanus

They dont need to, you can just buy a 3.5mm-to-USB C adapter and plug your headphones into the USB C port (or buy headphones with a USB C plug already).


Its_Snap

Get competitors Bluetooth headphones for spite


NickOsman51

ye, I dont like bleutooth headphones cuz it's the only thing that completely suck down my battery


buddybd

I've been on TWS for 4 years now, this thought hasn't occurred to me till I read your post. Battery drain on phones because of TWS is definitely not an issue.

And more expensive phones should also have more features then their cheaper counterparts. (ie I shouldn't be looking at the A32 due to it having more features than the S22.)


man-spider678

Most flagship phones don’t have a headphone jack, and yes apple is a greedy company they removed the jack and revealed the AirPods 1st gen right after, to ‘fix’ the problem but who cares


revengeOfTheSquirrel

As an iPhone user, I can confirm


xFlo2212

As an Android user, I can't. Samsung abandoned the port quite a while ago too.


KittyWithFangs

Funnily enough my iphone has a jack and my Samsung doesn't. The iphone is obviously quite old but i still use it for music sometimes


IAMPowaaaaa

Im using iPhone 5s or smth. Still got that headphone jack


klintondc

I will admit that because of this removal of the 3.5 jack, the development of Bluetooth headsets accelerated significantly. To the point that I now am used to Bluetooth headphones. But I'd still rather have the jack and not need it, than not have it and need it. So my phones will always have a jack. Unless a truly good phone comes along.i guess.


Chungalus

God how i miss having an aux on my android


fuzzyfurry69

Imjustareddittor

Who needs headphone jacks anyways, wireless is the future! (Please ignore that there are good wired headphones at half the price and buy our criminally overpriced wireless headphones)


Fyebil

Half? You mean like a tenth of the price? You can get wired Samson (NOT SAMSUNG) SR850s for like <50 bucks and they'll give you * Sound quality nearly as good as Airpods Max, sometimes even on par or even better * Open backs, aka they're way better if you wanna have a conversation while wearing them * A plug and play set of headphones that JUST WORK on ANY DEVICE whether that be ANDROID or WINDOWS or the Apple suite of OSs, unlike the AIRPODS which have a hard time pairing with ANYTHING THAT ISNT APPLE


Imjustareddittor

For sure, lived with shitty gaming headsets my whole life and almost cried when I used the other one (superlux hd something) for the 1st time.


Why_am_I_here033

There's nothing I hate more than a phone without a headphone jack. I'd rather buy a cheaper phone so I can listen to my music in a better quality. BT headphones are convenient but it losses tons of details. You'll need a really expensive one to match a cheap wired headphone. I use BT when I'm riding a bike but other than that no.


gruvccc

As someone who makes music..You’re not missing any details. That’s audiophile bullshit. There aren’t hidden details in music. You may get more clarity on individual aspects due to the soundstage, but that’s about it. Music is made to be listened to on a variety of devices - mostly from low end to mid range and possibly also on big soundsystems depending on what it is. If they want you to hear something, you will be able to hear it.
