My $200 Motorola has one, I don’t see the issue here. If headphone jacks are important to you, find a phone that has one. I’ve never had a smartphone without a jack.
Well, if you want something with good cameras and/or a future-proofed CPU for the next 10+ years, you can’t buy a phone with “legacy” features. That’s why I was holding onto my Redmi 4X until recently. Now I have a Redmi K90 without a headphone connector, SDcard slot or an unlockable bootloader - because capitalism. At least it could run a Browser decently - unlike the older one.
My plan is to use the new phone for the next 10 - 12 years (or more if I can still use a web browser decently). Could a ~150€ Redmi shitbox do this? - From my experience: if you like waiting 10 mins for a simple website to load.
At least throwing money at the problem mitigates it somewhat.
This was my annoyed rant. Enjoy.
Also: The new phone doesn’t even support analog audio output (for some stupid reason) and I have to buy a 10€ DAC to have a decent wired audio. Spending money makes you spend more money. Great.
