Weekly poll results: port-less phones may be an unfortunate future, according to most

USBto3.5mm dongle is not a replacement. It’s a compromise and a hassle. Bleutooth is not more advanced tech compare to analog, it’s an alternative.
What is it that makes people like you hates convenient things like sdcard and 3.5mm jack? If those still exist in all phones, do they make you phone slower or interfere with water resistance? No. There’s no effect at all. We as a customer has a right to have as many options as possible. Whether we use those features or not, that’s up to us. Again, we just want to have the choice. Sony is the only phone maker still give those features in a flagship, it means that I don’t have a choice, right?
blue, 5 hours agoSomehow you seem to be stuck in 2009 with your views. Maybe you should update your software to 2023.how does using 3.5mm jack “stuck in 2009”?? there are other devices use audio jack not only phones😒 you only accept greed. after the portless device existed, you’ll say usb c is ancient technology stone age tech bla bla bla..

We survived for tens of thousands of years without them. Of course, if they could get a Sony phone without paying an exorbitant upcharge on eBay, they would. But who would do that for something that’s just “really nice to have” rather than absolute necessity”?

blue, 10 hours agoYou have a choice of phones with jack and SD. Don’t take a choice of phones without this … moreAn “option” with fewer features and no substitutes for them isn’t actually an option, it’s just dumb.

And for the screen – it can be replaced with something else? It can’t, right? While both jack and SD can be replaced by more advanced technology. Once screen would be replaced with holographic view, I would certainly switch.
Too bad you had no serious arguments and only proved that you don’t understand technology at all.

The rest of your BS talk is simply… BS. so bothering about removing features is talking BS?? wow. just wow

Both my Xiaomi and Apple phones lasted that long although the iPhone showed signs of reduced battery life as early as 2 years but it lasted for 7 years which was long enough for me to buy a new phone while my Xiaomi still has good enough battery life even after 5 years although it has shown signs of reduced battery life in the 7th year.

blue, 15 hours agoI really don’t care about polls here. This is a site visited by fans. What matters is wha… moreIt’s factually not easy for those buyers to just move out of an ecosystem like Apple’s or Samsung’s. Sony Xperia 1 V is more expensive anyway, completely defeating the purpose of the SD card and Micro SD card slot. That’s the point. Make it so expensive that it completely defeats the purpose, and might as well just get an iPhone or Galaxy. Next up, they’re going to remove the camera and make a dedicated one that you can buy separately, and everyone will be “happy” about it.

Just one example why you are wrong – people had a chance to change the direction when Samsung started removing jack or card. If they decided not to buy, Samsung would have to change its policy. They bought. So these features were not important at all. And remained unimportant. Just as unimportant as super fast charging.

Anonymous, 10 hours agoAnother one falling for the newer = better meme. In this case newer is better. Faster, more advanced, with a lot of space for further development. Your ancient tech is on its limit.

Are you really funny? Are you still debating whether wired earbuds or wireless earbuds is better? Come on man. Both can be great. Wireless can be better and wired can be better. It depends. And I’m not from a cave. I have both types. For phones use wireless to avoid messy cables. For laptops use wired you don’t walk with laptop anyway.
Edward Coventry, 8 hours agoIt’s quite a simple point that all else being equal its better to not have a physical wir… morethe wired one is still superior even today. can offer better external mic recording, unlike bluetooth where they only offer 2009’s flip phone mic quality.. does not interrupt you using it during charging (i dont recommend using it longer) and does not require batteries, if your wired headphones or earphones you can just resolder it or buy another one. it is very straightforward and does not require you to enter the bluetooth setting and wait for pair..
