thinking of buying a new phone


Distortedreasoning

The phones are good b/c they don't come with manufacturer bloat, but you have to download some of the necessity apps from the play store, Motorola's File Manager being one of them. Got rid of Google's shit apps and the phone runs smoother.

They're removing the 3.5mm headphone jack on the next line of Galaxy's, similar to how Apple did with the iPhone7. Honestly don't know how it could be anymore clear than that

 

Because removing the headphone jack on cell phones from not one, but two HUGE cell phone manufacturers doesn't make any sense at all, since everyone and their mother loves plugging in their earbuds to their phone and listening to music. I get the feeling there's some info I'm not getting, because this just doesn't seem possible; it's company suicide. Also I don't know the story on what Apple did.

Apple did it for their new phones and you have to buy their "Aid Buds" or whatever they are calling them for 60$ a pop

 

Samsung is getting ready to do the same thing where you cannot use your own headphones but have to use their propitiatory products.

 

It wont work of course, but they will try it.

 

Ive had a Samsung ever since i got a smartphone, have the watch to and really like it. If they pull this sort of BS though then im done with them and moving on to whoever gives me a product I want, one that has a headphone jack.

Ok, I looked up what they did with the iPhone 7, and yes there was information I wasn't getting before: You plug the earbuds into the same jack as the charger. It apparently came with an adapter to use old style headphones, which is not so bad in my mind. Though it definitely does suck that you can't charge and use the headphones at the same time.

According to an article I found on the iPhone 7 headphone jack controversy, you don't have to buy the expensive air buds, but the phone comes with an adapter to plug into the same port you charge the phone with and that allows you to use the traditional headphone jack.

No idea what's up with Samsung.

Its still really stupid IMO

 

IF they want to have wireless headphones, fine, have them.  But dont try to force them onto people.  Im perfectly happy using my current headphones that have to plug into something.

 

 

Really it looks like Samsung and Apple are just trying to find a way to make people spend even more money on their crap.

I love....LOVE...my s6. It gives me zero problems. Had it for 2 years and still have plenty of space much of which i fill with porn.

 

The battery lasts all day but even then it fully charges in 30 minutes. Im kind of afraid of any attempts by samsung to improve on its best features without it catching on fire.

get a nokia 3310 or similar old nokia phone. you might not be able to do much but you can throw those things into a wood chipper and only get a slight scratch

 

i do like durability, especially since half the time i feel like throwing my phone against the wall, a durable phone will come in handy.

but those things are so old!  :D
