Self-labelled neo-Luddites and the tech-stressed are searching for phones with fewer features. Industry experts cite precarious profit margins and a wobbly market around this need.
The name is silly but the Galaxy XCover 6 pro checks all those boxes as a new phone. It even has the old style notification light, different colors for notifications.
Repairable 100%!
Why still wanting a jack? Understood that when phones w/out Jack’s were a minority and it was a compatibility issue. With Bluetooth as ubiquitous as it is and the world not built around mini Jack’s anymore, why ask for a sub-par onboard DAC? I’m all for options, so not hating on the request, but this is so far down on my priority list that I have a hard time understanding the continued push for this. I’d rather have an fm tuner, rf generator, and ir blaster than mini jack.
I just want a repairable phone with a headphone jack.
throw in a microSD card slot and I’m sold

To use already owned headphones? To not be forced to buy more expensive ones?
Cheap DAC converters are literally less than $3. Are you also upset about your new dvd player not being able to play your VHS collection?
