The audio Jack is meant to be. So, why does Google restore the existence of missing ports on Pixel 3?
"We really feel that consumer phones at price range and this class desperately need flexibility (for audio jack), " said Product Manager Google Soniya Jobanputra.
Broadly, the phrase Soniya indicates that people who need audio jacks are those with limited funds. However, the logic remains in. When people willingly squeeze out expenses for a cell phone, for what they also buy a wireless earbuds that are more expensive than conventional earphones.
In addition to emphasizing the price, Soniya also emphasizes the class aspects of Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL. That means the possibility of an audio jack will not be present on the Pixel 4 that includes the flagship.
Nevertheless, it does not mean the vendors so feel the prestige of its high-end class smartphones still carrying audio jacks. The proof, Samsung is still using the feature on the Galaxy S10 line. The same is done by Asus on Zenfone 6 to be released in the near term.
