How is it possible that the most expensive phones have less features?Why can't I pay more for more features?I can buy a budget $150 phone that has a headphone jack and SD card slot, but no flagship $1000 phone has it.At these prices, a phone should come with an HDMI port, headphone jack, sd card slot and even an ir blaster.
>>107037236>At these prices, a phone should come with an HDMI port, headphone jack, sd card slot and even an ir blaster.It literally does>what is HDMI over USB-C>what is 3.5mm to USB-C adapterIR blaster is a meme. microSD cards are a meme, stop being poor and buy the 1TB version
>>107037258>have everything on internal storage >phone breaks or is forcefully obsoleted >lose everything forever Meanwhile with an SD card you just swap it into a new phone and have all your shit. Why are you appleniggers always so dumb and unpractical?
>>107037258Adapters are fucking retarded and annoying. Unironically kys you dumb nigger.
>>107037305Because muh cloud bubble
>>107037258>It literally does>>use an adapter>>use an adapter>>you don't need it>>you don't need it... it LITERALLY does notBesides, most phones don't bother implementing HDMI over USBC
>>107037305>sdcard breaks because it's a fragile cheap piece of shit>lose everything forever>>107037316Stop being poor and get bluetooth headphones grandpa. It's 2025, not 2001.>>107037357You literally don't need it. You're trying to shove early 2000s tech on mid 2020s technology.
>>107037236back then you could see how high tier was the device by how many ports it had, there was one with a projector
>>107037258>microSD cards are a memekill yourself [spoiler]though the use of them on rasberry pis IS fucking retarded, too fragile[/spoiler]
>>107037410I have bluetooth headphones and im certainly richer than you, cause you're some turd worlder bown kid. I just prefer to use wired earbuds in some cases.
>>107037410>sdcard breaks because it's a fragile cheap piece of shitStop buying cheap chinkshit, poorfag.
i just want a flat phone. i don't want warts on the back. if they can't fit the camera in the phone they should use a smaller camera
>>107037258ok, jeet.
>>107037236>HDMI port, You cast over wifi to target tv, projector whatever>headphone jack, not even poor people are using wired heaphones these days>sd card slot and even an yeah that I miss>ir blasterNothing uses ir anymore, remotes are bluetooth
>>107037529>not even poor people are using wired heaphones these dayswrong. wired headphones are superior to wireless slop
>>107037236Sony's got your back, the usb-c port supports video out
>>107037436>>107037474I'm white. And richer than both of you.
>>107037258>HDMI over USB-Cuhm akshully it's DP over USB-C, that is in turn converted to HDMI
>headphone jack>usb-C>micro SD>dual sim>t-mobile support for the US>fm radio with no headphone required, radio recording function>doesn't come with gapps, apps can't be installed>music and video player, image viewer, sound recorder>bluetooth>flashlight>file browser>water submersibleAll this for $50 (fifty dollars) US. Let me guess, you need more?
>>107037572>no-date sub, just like its owner
>>107037892i had an agm copy of a cat smarthphone like 7 years ago. after a year or two they installed a fucking bootloader malware with an update that kept resintalling the same bullshit adware, a complete bullshit to get rid off
>>107037529The only reason poor people don't use wired headphones is because the market refuses to offer the product that they want.
>>107037236>I can buy a budget $150 phone that has a headphone jack and SD card slot, but no flagship $1000 phone has it.so just keep buying midrange phonesmy next ones gonna be a ulefone with subwoofers projector and built in waterproof tough casevery happy with my redmi 13 note pro as a media phone
>>107037549Any news on the manufacturing defects? I've heard they stopped production (momentarily)
>>107037236To fleech you.Cheaper phones are better anyway. My phone survives ten gorillion 6ft tall falls
>>107038091The market provides dirt-cheap USB-C headphones. What do you mean?
>>107037236That's bad for corpos you commieshit product devoid of feature sold out at premium price = success. Like PokemonYou might hate it, consumers might hate it. But for corporation, that's a business achievement.if you disagree, you are a communist
>>107037410>You literally don't need it. You're trying to shove early 2000s tech on mid 2020s technology.Yeah, modern TVs, air conditioners, etc. totally don't have IR remotes. By that logic no modern devices should have or support speakers, you're trying to shove 19th century tech into 21st century tech
>>107038146No it doesn't. An actual audio jack is what the customer wants. It's also what the customer should have in the first place. An adapter will always be more expensive than an included feature, and will break easily. And you know that before you said anything.
>>107037410None of the technology we're talking about is from the early 2000s. It's either much older or much newer.
>>107038189>No it doesn't.Yes it does. You're now acting all retarded so what's the point in replying to you? Here I go I guess.>An actual audio jack is what the customer wants.Consumers are retarded. Some of them are wishy-washy about it and that's it.>It's also what the customer should have in the first placeDuh.>An adapterWhy do you bring unrelated shit? There's no need for adapters.>And you know that before you said anything.Yes, I knew beforehand you're a shit-for-brains faggot unable to reason.
>>107038169dude you are not thinking like a money worshipper, why do you want to make your product compatible with already bought electronics, if you can make it only compatible with brand new ones with wifi connection for a smart house interface or whatever, it's called planned obsolescence, to "boost the economy". you dont make your phone to be useful without expending money, that's silly
>>107037236>At these prices, a phone should come with an HDMI port, headphone jack, sd card slot and even an ir blaster.99% of people who buy those phones don't need or want any of that shit, especially when adding those feature would compromise the things they actually care about (size, weight, battery life etc).This is not a matter of technology, but market viability.
>>107038220>Why do you bring unrelated shit?lmao did a bot write this?You are wrong, you know that, everyone can see that for what it is, and you knew all of that before you tried to shit on the thread anyway.
>>107038336A headphone jack doesn't significantly increase the size, weight, battery life, price, or anything else of a phone. That's why dirt cheap phones offer them as an afterthought.
>>107038355>hurr durr you're a bot
>>107038364Read this part again>99% of people who buy those phones don't need or want any of that shitThe market has demonstrated that no one wiling to put up $1k+ for a new flagship phone gives a single fuck about headphone jacks.
>>107037236>hdmiThey didnt want to pay HDMI consortium billion dollars in fees.

>>107038415>if you have an IMEI of a defective model, you can get a free replacementNice.Thanks for the info.
>>107037236less features? They are the FASTEST phones BY A LOT those features are worthless and slow shit down you must be crazy if you think some slow as shit garbage sd card compares to soldered on high speed flagship, instant lightning quick storage and a USB-C port covers everything elsego back to 2010
>>107037236It's precisely because they're the most expensive. As an example, the reason they don't let you have a micro SD card slot on a flagship is that (aside from being able to overcharge for higher capacities of onboard atorage) the production team believe that it would harm the perception of their brand if someone were to install a cheap/low-spec micro SD card into their phone and were to experience it running slow, eg. loading pictures and thumbnails sluggishly, or if they're hammering it by doing something unintended like trying to film in 4K and getting I/O errors.
>>107038386Read what again? An obvious lie? The market wants that stuff, the phone companies just all in tandem agree to not provide it.
>bros headphones still have a wireget wit the times unc
>>107037236>but no flagship $1000 phone has it.there is a flagship $1600 that has those
>>107037462redmagic 11 pro
>>107038146the headphone jack is rated for 50k insertions, the fragile type-c only for like 1k, now kys
>>107040341No one wants or cares about your shitty 3.5 port in 2025.I care about sdcard slot and if there really needs to be another port 2nd usb-c would be cool but we all know future for phones is totally portless.
>>107038336>This is not a matter of technology, but market viability.not really, Carl Pei did a poll on twitter and it got 88% votes in favor of keeping the jack, they removed it anyway
>>107037572CEO of White here. It never meant what shade you are it was heritage and culture. You're also clearly some form of arabscum.
>>107038119The last good model was the fifth iteration.
>>107037305>>phone breaks or is forcefully obsoletedthis has literally never once happened to me in the last 15 years that android has even been a serious thing.
>>107037572I love this b8 where you post a fat guy's hand wearing a watch to fish for (You)s calling you fat
>>107041096>b8Oh sweetie
Skill issue.
>>107037258>usb-cah yes, I too love it when my 2000 dollar phone becomes an useless brick in 1 year because the flimsy shitstain chinesium port no longer works
>>107040731>if there really needs to be another port 2nd usb-c would be coolabsolute retardation, kys
>>107037410>>sdcard breaks because it's a fragile cheap piece of shit>>lose everything forever
>>107037258MicrosSD is not a meme. They got rid of it so they can upsell you on storage and then let Google cuck you for cloud storage.At least with the microSD you just put it in your new phone and then all your shit is still there.
>>107037892Need WhatsApp to talk to my fellow saars
>>107037236Have I ever got the Phone for you. >Physical Keyboard>Headphone Jack>IR Blaster>SD Card Slot>Comes with a free Dock>Tough as hell>Optional free holster
>>107041337>4 in WVGA (800 x 480)>7000mah batteryholy beast battery life
>>107037236i hate usb c but with the proliferation of "displayport" that just uses a usbc port hdmi on a phone is totally unnecessary (and would be a pain in the ass like how no one has ever actually manufactured dslr camera display out cables)>>107041337>not using a picture that shows that it has a fucking pistol gripthese are the things UPS drivers point at you to "sign" for packages. they're cool, but not really a phone
>>107041337pure SOVL..
>>107039062>The market wants that stuffIf the market wanted it, products without headphone jacks etc wouldn't be selling like hotcakes. Especially at current inflated prices. You might not like it, but that's simply how things are.There is a reason why you see headphone jacks and other features /g/ creams their pants about only on budget and midrange phones - because that's what this demographic buys. Not 1k+ flagships.>>107040986>poll>on twitter>by a nice chinese tech companyThat is about as far from a representative group of respondents as you can possible get when conducting a survey. They ended up removing the jack because they looked at their competitors and realized no significant group of consumers (in the price range that they were targeting) actually gave a fuck about it.
>>107037236Netcraft confirms it: ports are dead.You don't need any peripherals, you need a monolithic slab of cheap aluminum and plastic. Soon, you won't even need a screen. That's progress, and change. Welcome to the future.
>>107041956>not using a picture that shows that it has a fucking pistol gripSmall Keyboard, Big Keyboard, Pistol Grip, no Pistol Grip, small Battery, big Battery, whatever. You can spec those things however you want
>>107037236Stop buying flagships
