>Wired headphones are only good for desktop environments.
Except plenty of BT devices only support the shittiest, most lossy codec. Analog out sounds much better.
You don’t need lossless audio outside a home/studio environment because you’re going to be heading a fuck ton of background noise. Also, if you wear open backs in public you are a homosexual.
>you don't ne-ACK
I dare you to store your entire library in 32kb/s stereo mp3. You don't NEED high fidelity audio, you're not in a treated studio. Do it. Do it right now.
Oh, because you actually do need high fidelity audio and you were just talking out your ass. Got it.

Is this the intellectual and rhetorical level of an audophile?
It's like those "muh penis" memes from /b/.
Not only are you wrong, but you're also retarded since the 3.5mm audio jack is also used for line out. When I'm in my car listening to music I don't want to hear garbled bluetooth compressed audio.
Aux ports are still needed as backup. Bluetooth earbuds die on the bus from the airport to the Big Meeting and the meeting has started, all I have are wired earphones. Would be nice to be able to plug them in without another retarded adapter blocking the only port
>charge another device daily and have your battery last less for zero benefit so that $MEGACORP can save 5 cents per device and sell you more expensive junk
Kill yourself
So you never use the mic from a headset?
Bluetooth microphones are horribly bad and sound worse than an pic related.
In fact, whole bluetooth is a mistake. I never had a bluetooth device that actually just worked.
It would be if google wasn't retarded. Just have the always on screen be active only when you have a notification. Its that easy. Why do I have to have a tasker profile just to do this?
this shit never worked properly even on the best phones. white showed yellow. yellow showed green. those paid apps didn't do shit. even in that picture you can hardly tell what color it is.
Don't forget the duel front facing speakers.
Just switched from one of those and it's so frustrating having to do the gay cupping the end of the phone bullshit
Always on display is better
Works fine on my Xperia 1 II
My Xperia 1 V however...
i just want a phone without a frontal camera hole
is it really too much to ask
yes feel free to call it paranoia, having a camera pointing right to my face activates my paranoia in full power
A few years ago some phones had a frontal pop-up camera. It was such a good concept, and in my experience with a 9T never had any issues even after damaging the phone repeatedly. Notches or holes can go fuck themselves
>in my experience with a 9T never had any issues
kek, my sister started freaking out when opening instagram would trigger the pop-up camera on her phone
Smartphones are planned obsolescence garbage. They've moved fully into the territory of industries like fast fashion. Convincing you that you don't need a thing if it will save them a few cents or even fractions of a cent per phone is only good business.
I'd rather start carrying an actual camera at this point and get a cheaper phone. Unfortunately I'm not sure what the intersection between "Runs actual Linux" and "Doesn't give a shit about cameras at all" is in the current smartphone market.

Wow congrats, you removed the only way to get audio out if my wireless earbuds die unexpectedly. Used to be any random dollar store earbuds would work in a pinch.
I use nice Bluetooth ones but maybe I'm somewhere away from home and they die or get lost yet I still want to watch a video or have hands-free calls. As is with the jack, I can use whatever random cheapo buds, just plug them in and go. But with this retarded no headphone jack trend, I can't. Phones are no thinner, no cheaper, no lighter, no smaller, and have not gained any useful feature from the removal of the jack. All it has brought us is less options for connecting audio. >muh USB C dongle
Dongles suck the big one. Nobody wants to travel with a sack full of dongles to make what used to be fully functional in itself, usable again. Also random stores don't have them. Random stores have earbuds though.
>be not poor >can buy newest xperia 5 or 1 every 2 years >enjoy headphone jack >enjoy sd card slot >enjoy notification led >enjoy blemish free screen
Ahhhh, perfection
How is the 5 IV for heat, do you notice it get warm from web browsing or watching video? I'm considering one over the 5 V because I want the notification LED and smaller side bezels
The only time I ever notice it get warm is when I'm using it while charging. Web browsing, video playback, emulators, etc are all fine. I think the overheating complaints were overblown, and everything else about the phone is excellent.
the flashing light(s) probably kept you up at night. I know that feel because I get mad bitches, some young and old who prefer to communicate with me through both dated and modern mediums
I tried all sorts of apps. They drain battery like crazy.
No notification indication means that I simply don't see notifications if I wasn't near the phone when it arrived, so in turn I'm using the phone less. That's probably a good thing.
No notification indication means I have to turn on screen notifications because I am an adult that people depend on and I can't ignore the world. However it is a bad alternative to the LED light which stays on until you check the message.

They removed the bezels which used to house various sensors. Now the latter were all put together on an unnecessary extra device called smart watches.
Wired headphones are only good for desktop environments. Anyone who disagrees is coping.
You're actually right

Subway cars too. Put that many Bluetooth users in one area and it's going to start cutting out.

Schizo

Just use a better aftermarket Android radio and use your streaming service/downloaded mp3s there retard
just use AUX, double retard

FTFY
>he still uses an chinkware with LCD screen
I have OLED and it still wastes battery.
It's time to move on, gramps
this shit never worked properly even on the best phones. white showed yellow. yellow showed green. those paid apps didn't do shit. even in that picture you can hardly tell what color it is.
worked fine on my Nexus 6p
It worked on Nexus devices.
>tfw no softly pulsing clit to tell me i have a notification from across the room
>got something that needs your attention big boy
worked fine on my Galaxy S4
its blue and your color blind
Works fine on my Xperia 1 II
My Xperia 1 V however...
worked fine on my galaxy nexus back in 2012
not an issue on my oneplus phones
works fine on my galaxy s8
i just want a phone without a frontal camera hole

No need. Shit's ugly and wastes space.
Shame the pop up cameras died.
just take medication you mental idiot

Put a sticker on it retard. Phone also has a mic which is always worse for privacy.

>last four moto phones had an LED
>only used for startup/power input diagnostics
WHY?
pajeet ROMs could enable it but there's no way if you wanted to keep stock
>Wanting stock
I miss my Note Edge
Get xperia
>Never forget what they took from you
notification LEDs
screens without dead pixels right in the picture
headphone jacks
replaceable batteries
memory card slots
physical touch keys
what will be next?
My phone still has it.
Don't forget the duel front facing speakers.
Just switched from one of those and it's so frustrating having to do the gay cupping the end of the phone bullshit
They took away bad DAC's that don't support balanced audio. Good.
Wow congrats, you removed the only way to get audio out if my wireless earbuds die unexpectedly. Used to be any random dollar store earbuds would work in a pinch.

Plebs don't deserve audio. Not at all.

Ahhhh, perfection
id still rather not have green bubbles
>perfection
yeah, all I want is cock shaped phone
it just need to get rounder so I can shave it more easily in my ass
hope the european communist union can force replaceable batteries back besides pushing bugeating and banning fossil fuels
Less features is better here's why
Not my problem
Sony phones still have them
Sony removed the notification LED on the V's sadly. Keeping my 5 IV for as long as I can.
How is the 5 IV for heat, do you notice it get warm from web browsing or watching video? I'm considering one over the 5 V because I want the notification LED and smaller side bezels
The only time I ever notice it get warm is when I'm using it while charging. Web browsing, video playback, emulators, etc are all fine. I think the overheating complaints were overblown, and everything else about the phone is excellent.
Nice, thanks. Going to keep an eye out for 5 IV deals when the new model comes out
Mine has one. Only nicety it's missing is removable battery, but 4 years on and it still lasts 3 weeks under light use anyway so not that big a deal.
so based, the green button for apps and shit like facebook messenger and the blue for email and SMS
peak
*light
that light was the most disgusting thing once made on Android
the flashing light(s) probably kept you up at night. I know that feel because I get mad bitches, some young and old who prefer to communicate with me through both dated and modern mediums
use an adapter?
You can still get a new phone with a 3.5mm headphone jack today.
Here's a nice list of phones released in the last two years with a 3.5mm jack:

Xcover6 has it but on the top for some homosexual reason

I fucking miss IR blasters, bros
I don't buy a phone without a notification LED or a 3.5mm jack or a replaceable battery.
Anyone who deviates from this is a shill/homosexual/bot/consoomer/scum.
Fight me.
Can't cover up your front facing cam on your less secure phone if it makes your screen unusable.
I cared about this before I actually got a new phone. It's a complete non-issue when you can just plug a dongle in.
I cannot imagine a scenario in 2023 where I'd use an aux cord on my phone
