I know I have small hands but c'mon. Flagship phones these days are strait up small tablets, not even what we'd have called on phablets 15 years ago.

I know it's what people buy, but I'm still sad that if I want a phone that small then I have to deal with camera and display a couple gens old

I wish I could get a flagship phone with a swappable battery, headphone jack, SD slot and allow my apps to interface with each other's files when I want without having to fuck around with permission bullshit.. I don't care if it's the size of a dinner plate

[–] Vinstaal0@lemmy.world -1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Just get a USB-c dongle and let that sit on your headphones. These days nearly everything has USB-c anyway and the sound is way better. The last phones I had with the USB-c jack (RedMi Note 13 Pro and iPhone 4 before that) all sounded worse than me using a cheap DAC. Getting an expensive DAC will improve the sound even more.

Personally I say that most would need to get a NAS before they need a SD card or you need to get a dedicated Camera or MP4 player if your pictures or music exceed the 500GB max and streaming isn;t an option using a NAS.

The rest of your points are valid.

Yeah spending 100s of dollars on whole other devices you have to carry around instead of like 10 for an SD card makes a ton of sense.

[–] Vinstaal0@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah man cause a SD card that sits in your phone also works as a backup solution.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It's not a backup. Neither is a camera or MP4 player (which also can't play games or display books/comics, so I'd be up to 4 devices to have all my media covered). It's a way of keeping my media available while I am on the go with or without a internet connection. It's by far the simplest solution and allows me to do everything on my phone.

[–] Vinstaal0@lemmy.world 0 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

A MP4 player can play games or display books/comics. The once from FiO basically are Android devices from which you cannot call (or maybe with an internet connection you can).

Being on the go without an internet connection is getting rarer and rarer anyway so that is less of an issue for most.

Truth of it all is that most people want tinner phones and/or wireless earbuds/headsets and the people who do not are for a big part audiophiles who want better audio quality than a phone is going to offer. So there is only a relatively small section of users who prefer the audio jack.

I used to want one and a SD card and a good 3mm jack as well, but it just doesn't exist. So I switched to using a NAS (a raspberry Pi can get your pretty far), plus an iPod or Spotify with dongles or just wireless.

I think the real truth is most people just take whatever the phone corporations shovel down their throats without thinking too much about it as long as they have the newest model. Phones have been thin enough for years now. They've hit the point where they can't make the camera as thin as the rest of the phone so it sticks out and won't sit flat. It's ridiculous. It's not like they've replaced the features we lost with new better technology anyway. There's no reason customer focused reason to remove those features. They did it to sell more shit and make their devices less repairable. Expecting people to carry two or more devices when one could do everything is asinine. Also my phone has a Hi-fi DAC and gives fantastic audio quality through the headphone jack.

I don't know of any with swappable batteries anymore. The HTC U24 and U23 series both have headphone jack and MicroSD slot. There are a few others.

[–] Dragonborn3810@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Fairphone might be somewhat closer for what you want

[–] ramjambamalam@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

Fairphone is also gigantic.

[–] Walk_blesseD@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

FP5 doesn't have a 3.5mm jack 😔

[–] Vinstaal0@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

An external DAC is better anyway, just put that on your headphones.

[–] Walk_blesseD@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Having to use a USB hub to use my earphones while i'm charging my phone is not my idea of a pleasant user experience.

[–] Vinstaal0@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Yeah that is fair, but I preferred that a lot more than just using the 3mm jack on my Redmi Note 13 Pro. Man the DAC in that thing sucks.

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yeah, that's the problem. Why only 1 phone has the options most of us want?

I hate this billionaire-controlled timeline we're on.

[–] Vinstaal0@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

Because most people don't need a 3mm jack anymore, I prefer to use a USB-c dac anyway the sound is better.

And I offload the data to a NAS anyway so the storage is irrelevant anyway.

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 9 points 1 day ago

Most people don't care and if there's no microSD slot, you can sell more expensive phones via overpriced internal storage. No 3.5mm jack, but we've got these wireless buds you could try. Would be stupid for companies to put these things back unfortunately.

HMD Skyline and Fusion also

Edit: Skyline doesn't have headphone jack

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No headphone jack on those unless I missed something.

[–] brb@sh.itjust.works 1 points 23 hours ago

Looks like Skyline doesn't have one but Fusion does

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

App restrictions can be disabled in developer options.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 3 points 1 day ago

I would categorize that as having to fuck around with permission bullshit but thank you for the suggestion.

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Also make it durable. Thicker. Heavier. I'm going to slap a case on it otherwise
