This image by itself always makes me sad for Skips…
Amazing show
Last with a headphone jack on the flagship while still allowing bootloader unlocking too. This is why I picked one up last year.
Was going to get a Sony. Then I saw their update roadmap… 2 years of major updates and another one for security patches, that was it. Noped out because of that. I’d like a headphone jack and an sd card slot, but I’d like even more to keep such an expensive device for more than three years.
Also, their phones are too big, but that’s an issue for every single manufacturer.
I saw the SailfishOS support last month. I would have picked up a 10 instead of 5 even with the non-flapship specs to have a way ‘out’ of Android in case. It is quite a suprise Sony is their chosen brand over the more popular option (even if they have worse IO)—butt the bigger shame is not extending support to the flagship 1 & 5 😔
Nokia Samsung and Sony are all still in the market
HTC released a phone this year that had expandable storage AND a headphone jack
AND it came with a charger in the box.
I gonna have to wait and see if they actually support this phone but if they do and continue to release phones like this (and ditch the curved glass screen) I would be totally down to switch.
Yes, the joke in the meme is that Sony is the only “flagship” company that still has those features.
(Though calling them a flagship company might be a little generous)
As for HTC, it’s possible that another company bought the rights to the name, i’m not sure. They were making VR headsets for a while, so it’s possible they just backed out of the phone market and did something else.
Either way, the phone looks good, with some minor tweaks and some proper long term support it could be a serious competitor
What phone is this? I thought they released one but no jack. I’d be interested if it has one and an unlockable bootloader.
Nevermind. Just saw your post under.
I have a recent Xiaomi that supports 2 sim + storage and a 3.5mm jack. I’m on Redmi Note 12 (don’t recommend since memory management is atrocious)
