Which phone do you use at the moment?
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.
What do you currently use?

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)
(Posting this here rather than !askandroid@lemdro.id as it's a quite general question)
I had a look at the GSM Arena phone finder, and it the choice is getting smaller and smaller every year (only 43 phones from 2023, reviewed by the site, had a jack)
The remaining ones are mostly
- Xiaomi Redmi
- Zenfones
- Sony
- Samsung entry range
So, has everyone switched to Bluetooth / USB-C dongles, or are there still a few people holding to the jack until the very end?

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

Thank you for your comment.
I was asking because everytime I post an article about Reddit, even in the dedicated communities, there are people who comment "who cares about Reddit?"
I assume this would only be even more the case in the !technology community.
On the other hand, I am myself not interested in all topics handled in !technology, but I like to keep an eye on what happens on Reddit, so that would be a way to only have that content.
Anyway, let's see what other people have to say on the matter
Basically, title.
There are a lot of news recently following the Reddit IPO, and I guess it might be interesting to have a dedicated Reddit community (also, having it elsewhere than LW would be nice to reduce the current hypercentralization), and allow people who aren't interested to just block it and still enjoy !technology@lemmy.zip
What do you think? Just asking the community first as I know sometimes people are concerned about community fragmentation
PS: thank you @BrikoX@lemmy.zip for your work animating the lemmy.zip communities!
Coming back to Lemmy Apps seems good, it seems like a nice topic that should be wide enough.
Some people might only be interested in apps and not scripts and vice versa. Instance Assistant belongs to !plugins@sh.itjust.works, but that's my opinion.
