Also, for being the manufacturer that makes all the lenses their camera algorithm sucks.

Isn't that on purpose, so that people can adjust their settings themselves?

Unfortunately yes.

I'm lucky enough to not have that much issues on my side, but I'm not surprised you are encountering those.

Thanks, so same as the 7a when it released.

Damn, I forgot how expensive the a line became

I was looking for a headphone jack... No: https://www.gsmarena.com/oukitel_wp36-12894.php

Seriously? XCover 7 has one: https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_xcover7-12784.php

Thanks for sharing! I just had a look at Nokia phones, the G22 is a bit too large for me, but the X30 seems interesting (though a bit pricey)

Thanks for the article. It still shows that medium-range Samsung such as the A34 and A54 don't have it anymore, while the A52 and A72 still had it.

you list three large brands already

• RedMi have reliability and quality issues
• Zenfones and Sony prices are quite pricey: Zenfone 9 is 500€ on Ebay in Europe and a Sony Xperia 5 V is 700€

Indeed, some Nokia phones have jack, but the issue comes from the CPU: the G42 has a Snapdragon 480, while the X30 has a Snapdragon 695, but no headphone jack. Also, the G42 has battery issues

However, the Nokia G42 5G cannot stand out from comparable phones in any of these areas. The battery life and WLAN speed are also mediocre rather than leading.

The Nokia G21 mentioned in the article have low performance (which makes sense, it's an entry level device): https://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_g21-review-2389p4.php

entry range Samsung phones (though I really wouldn’t call $500 phones “entry range”).

The Samsung I was referring to is the A25, 200€ on Amazon, and the A09, 109€.

The 500€ you are referring too is the A55, 370€, but no headphone jack.

not everyone is buying flagship phones.

I'm not either, and that's what I'm telling you: on top of the flagships, the medium range phones don't have jack anymore either (as shows your article)

• Samsung A55: no jack, the A52 had (S line is the flaghip)
• Pixel: 7a: no jack, 5a had (7 is the flagship)

Having to buy the entry range device, which last longer and provide a worse experiences, probably doesn't compensate getting a jack.

Or somehow get enough money together to buy an Xperia 5v.

Ps don’t bother with ZenFone. Asus is known for poor quality and very, very bad support

Thank you for your message.

Xperia 5 V looks indeed a very nice option on paper, but definitely pricey.

Thanks for the heads up on Zenfones

I don’t consider €350+ phones entry level.

Neither do I? I mentioned the 200€ and 109€ as entry level

That’s mid-range for me.

Agreed

if people would’ve bought flagships with headphone jacks during the transition

They didn't really gave them a choice. As per your article, between 2019 and 2020, Samsung dropped the jack on the S-line. People who upgrade phones regularly tend to stick to a brand they know due to convenience, so indeed most of the people wouldn't have dropped years of satisfying Samsung experience for a jack, especially as phones came with Bluetooth earbuds.

The loud majority who does care can protest the change by buying from other brands that do sport headphone jacks.

I tried, I have been researching this topic extensively in the last few months, and when you add on top of that I prefer phones less than 160 mm high, the possibilities are very limited.

Which I get from a manufacturer perspective: smaller phones sell less (as their audience tends to keep them longer), and most of the people don't care about the jack. But thinking that a specific demographic can influence the whole market doesn't seem realistic.

Now that I think about it, even the Fairphone dropped the jack...

I bypassed it fine using the Firefox reader mode

Over the weekend, I learned an interesting fact: The most popular Redditor of all time has amassed their karma by exclusively posting fanart images of anime girls and vTubers dozens of times a day for roughly five straight years. They have earned more than 46 million karma (Reddit points) by posting almost exclusively to relatively small anime-focused subreddits such as r/AnimeLingerie, r/GenshinImpactNSFW, r/BluearchiveNSFW, r/animebooty, r/animebodysuits, r/thighhighhentai, etc.

The user, called u/CheetahSperm18, spent years posting a mix of hentai and anime art but, more recently, has primarily posted a mix of SFW anime art and mildly NSFW anime waifus in lingerie. CheetahSperm18 passed the infamous u/gallowboob as the most popular Reddit users of all time sometime in 2021, according to the site Karmalb, which is a “Leaderboard for Reddit.”

IIRC it's always on the same community ("moe" in the name?), so blocking that community should be enough
