  • It’s absolutely a personal preference. Some people don’t care, others do. A 3.5mm headphone jack is a requirement for any phone that I buy along with a micro SD card slot. It’s getting more and more difficult to find devices that meet those requirements but that’s a choice that I make. Along with unlockable bootloader and the ability to be rooted, but that’s a whole different issue.

    3.5mm headphone jack just works with anything you plug into it and it has for decades. No pairing, no charging headphones or earbuds, no latency, better sound quality, no having to choose between charging the device and having audio output OR find the right OTG dongle.

    A lot of people don’t care about this at all and that’s fine. But for those of us who do I really hope that these options don’t disappear entirely just to sell more Bluetooth earbud garbage and cloud storage subscriptions.
