USB C my fren

I refuse to get any phone without a headphone jack, whats good and relatively cheap? @AstroJannah

there are phones with usb-c and headphone jack

pocophone is a meme for that reason

i don't personally like the sound of it very much but yknow its probably fine

Samshit has a headphone jack <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

>relatively cheap

They cost just as a much as a Poco here

I have a cheapo sambomb that just werks but is starting to get dated

I live in burgerland

Sighh I dont know then

Glorious eu pricing

@Adam W any suggestions?

get poco my friend

does pocomeme have compatability with most of all us networks?

not really

only xiaomeme phone that has them is mix series I think

its a no from me

Damn it lacks a ton of cellular bands

yeah

didn't know that about it, huh

also i was very hesitant about getting a phone without a headphone jack

but its been a week and i'm already over it

i have a little adapter that means i can charge and use headphones at the same time, and it works fine. tiiiiny bit of electrical noise, but you can't hear it as soon as you play anything

don't mean to be a no-jack apologist, i still think it's a fucking dumb thing to get rid of and i'd rather they kept it, but yknow, i pretty much haven't noticed its absence unlike i thought i would

But that means if you lose the dongle you won't be able to use headphones until you get a new one?

well, now i have two dongles, the one that came with the phone and the second one i bought so i could charge at the same time

but i do also have some bluetooth headphones as backup

chances of me losing the dongle are virtually 0 though, its never detached from my headphones. basically just part of the headphone cable at this point

@Adam W I have a dedicated player but most of often when I use the jack on my phone its for podcasts or calling

so pulling out a dongle for that would be annoying

instead of just unplugging the jack from my walkman and plugging into my phond

i can understand that. i don't have anything else i plug the same headphones into so its not an issue for me

ultimately for me i just wanted a phone without a notch more than i wanted a phone with a headphone jack

so my choices were immediately very limited

I'm thinking of getting the sony compact phone

they still make those?

I think so, and I believe it has a jack

"XZ1"
they're running out of cool sounding letters arent they

if not guess I'll just stick with cheap samshit phones

i mean if you don't care about flagship specs then the redmi note series is still good i believe
