Today Huawei has just announced the new Mate 10 PRO phone which comes with no 3.5mm audio jack as well as iPhone 7/8/x and also Xiaomi Mi 6.. I'm a big lover of that jack and I just didn't understand why they are doing that, I did my search on internet and the reasons were not satisfying to me but here they are:
- Phone manufacturers see that the 3.5mm jack prevent them from making the phone thinner.
I just need to mention that Xiaomi Mi 6 is 7.45mm, so obviously it isn't less than 3.5mm! - Xiaomi says that the removal of it allows them to add bigger batteries, Xiaomi Mi 6 comes with 3350mAh, when Oneplus 5 is 3300mAh and they kept the jack too.
- They also say that it allows them to make the dual rear camera option, I think they should take a look on all huawei's old phones and OnePlus 5 too.
- They say that USB-type C and lightening ports deliver better sounds, so they basically removed the jack, but we users sometimes need to CHARGE AND LISTEN AT THE SAME TIME!
Personally I LOVE the 3.5mm jack, and I will not buy a phone without it.
What do you think?
