I sincerely hope that headphone jacks will return as a fad. Not everyone has bluetooth wireless charging everything, nor do many want that. If you must get rid of the 3.5mm port, why not have dual USB-C to charge and listen at once?
I got the LG G7 not too long ago, not only has a jack but also a built in DAC

Pixel camera is pretty amazing/magical. How is the camera app on the Moto G+?
I've probably taken under 50 photos this year so I am not a good reference point for camera features. I haven't been disappointed with the photos but I also probably have no idea what I'm missing.
I bought a Google Pixel 3a when it came out. After trading in my Pixel 1 (with a damaged screen) and a rebate, it came out to $230 incl. taxes. I've been extremely happy with the phone. It's a huge upgrade over the Pixel 1 and I can use Apple wired earphones when I need to. For anyone looking into buying a new Android phone, I highly recommend the Pixel 3a.
Honestly, I'd only recommend it to people who really value the camera.
The Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro has very good cameras and a headphone jack for about 430 USD: https://www.mi.com/global/mi-9-t-pro In some markets it's called the Redmi K20 Pro.
I'm a single-issue voter when it comes to cell phones - if it doesn't have a headphone jack, I won't be buying it.
I sometimes can’t believe that after 3 years people are still feeling hurt about this thing. I mean, go ahead and vote with your wallet but wow, what a hill to choose to die on! I’ve been through the obsolescence of floppy disks, cassette tapes, optical media/drives, DB9 serial ports, parallel printer ports, composite video, RCA audio jacks, VGA and countless other display output jacks, yet this silly 3.5mm headphone…

I've been using the budget Moto G+ line for the past four years. I can upgrade my phone every year around Black Friday and get the latest model for sub $200. The older phones still work well and get handed down to my less tech savvy family members. I'm not really sure what people are paying for when they get those $800+ beasts for phones. When I use a friend's I can tell they are higher quality; either they feel more…

Some games (Pokemon Masters for example) are simply unavailable because of this, and Google has already deprecated 32bit native code.
I feel like at some point in the near future phone naming conventions will adopt the car manufacturer naming convention of just being the name of the car and then whatever year it is. It would be silly to have the Samsung Galaxy S26 or the Apple iPhone 32 XR instead it should just be the Samsung Galaxy (2028) and the Apple iPhone (2025) or whatever year it is. The updates to the phones will start to get very insignif…
