Headphone jack

Hey, they didn't fuck everything up!

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 46 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Thats probably because these are old outdated phones that were dump for good reason.

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 24 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Except that they're claiming Android 15, USB-C and 12GB of RAM.

No existing device has that combination of features, plus a headphone jack.

This thing is a fantasy, plain and simple. Nothing about it is real.

They’re morons and don’t know the difference between RAM and Storage. There’s no way it isn’t 128gb storage.

Now if only Sony would get their shit together and start making a compact version of the Xperia line again.

[–] therantechguy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

Man me too these older sony phones that were perfect and compact for the hand

Sorry, I meant "that and made in the US", but I get that that's not what I said.

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

What phone is made in the US anyway?

[–] Mynameisallen@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

Fair, I'm just a fan boy evangelizing

Moto G power comes close. 8gb ram, but has the other stuff. I enjoy moto phones.

About the only redeeming quality of what is otherwise conservative-themed shovelware tbh. 🤣

[–] MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 day ago

That's also how you know it's a cheap chinese phone lol, because all the high end flagships don't have headphone jacks (other than Sony I suppose).

Don’t forget the code to listen in. You get a twofer. Both the motherboard and rump will add surveillance code to listen in.
