You get more than a headphone jack for more money, the X5V is a much better all round device than any $500 phone.
But ignoring that oversight for a moment. Just because you can settle for some cheap $30 earbuds doesnt mean people who want good audio should have to, why defend the removal of such a useful port. It was only done initially to try to sell their overpriced wireless options.
Every phone, especially flagships should have a 3.5mm port and without question an SD card slot.
Sony phones have like 3 years support maximum and no one develops custom operating systems for them. They are dogshit value.
Im not arguing for that specific phone, but for the inclusion of good features that were only removed in the name of profit.
