    If you’re considering buying one you might want to take into account that they removed the headphone jack so they can sell their own wireless buds and headphones.

      I care less about the lack of a headphone jack and more about the lack of multiple ports

      USB C is genuinely a great multiport, but all of these companies leave the phone with one port. People would care less if each phone had two ports, so you could plug in headphones via adapter while also charging

        There are actually dongles which have both an audio jack and a USB c port. I never used one of those dongles though

      you mean this strange old socket that is (at least for me) primarily used for collecting dust since almost a decade? yeah, personally I can live without it.

      and this fortunately is not apple. You can use every brand of earbud and use all of the features, so I don’t really get your point at all. the phone is very good and I hope I will be able to use it until the 30s

    The only thing that makes me cautious about this phone is the CPU. Will it still be performant in 5+ years?

      If you use your phone like 99% of people do, it will be completely fine. If you don’t do gaming or 4K video editing on your phone, there’s no problem. The CPU will even be fine for Instagram face filters for the foreseeable future

    The only reason i don’t buy it is because it’s too big. Particularly for a phone i would commit to for a longer lifespan, the physical design needs to be without compromise, and i know that the moment someone releases a half-way decent mini Android phone, i will drop whatever phone i have and buy that instead.
