The new fairphone 5 came out, it looks cool but the price is really, really high…

If it’s a phone that can really last 10 years it could be good, but is that true? Is it worth it? I could get the one with /e/os from Murena because i want a degoogled phone with a bootloader locked, but is it usable on a daily basis?

    How is buying a dongle you shouldn’t need better for the planet than a phone manufacturer providing a headphone jack??

    Did you even read my reply fully?

    Go into a recording studio and see how many wireless headphones they use

    Recording studios also don’t use a smartphone to do their work.

    Even if we do assume that the majority of the world still uses wired earphones, it still makes sense to remove the audio jack for reasons I have explained already.

      You haven’t provided a single good reason. Why are you fighting this so hard? Samsung isn’t gonna kiss you.

        Ah yes, it is totally unfair to expect consumers who prefer wired audio to make a one time purchase of a 10$ dongle. Instead phone manufacturers should continue to ship every single phone with an audio jack for years to come. And anybody who says it is fine to remove the audio jack because those who prefer wired audio can use a dongle is obviously a samsung shill.
