Phones should have 2 USB C ports (sopuli.xyz)

One should be at the bottom one at the top. I understand space on the phone is a premium but a second port would make the phone so much more usable. Wired headphones, flash drives, camera modules, speaker modules, keyboards, even connection to a TV, all could be used while charging. It's a shame it's not a thing, USB is extremely versatile port, but you only get one and it's used for charging half of the time. (I am aware dongles exist)

It never dissapeared - you just started buying devices without one

The selection is pretty slim.

Can't be that important if people don't actually choose with their wallets (Xperia 5 II owner btw)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Rn I'm hoping the 5 V will be announced soon, my 1 II's battery is absolutely fucked lol.

headphone jacks are still available for mid ranged androids, even along with a charger. pretty much the only win we can get for purchasing a mid ranged androids.

Not being ridiculously overpriced is another advantage imo.

I'd rather have another USB port actually. It's just so much more versatile.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Honestly, this. I'm not happy that they took away my headphone jack, but if they'd replaced it with a second USB port I would have been okay with it.

Occasionally, I'll use my phone to play a show, with a USB to HDMI. I used to keep a wireless charger next to the TV for that use case.
