Been on a Pixel 2 XL, ordered pre-release (my 6p died around that time) and I viscerally hate that it doesn't just have a headphone jack. Keep thinking of moving to a 3a XL, just can't bring myself to, not worth it... hoping the next release keeps up the trend though.

Also glad to see a return to mid-range class phones. It's what the Google line (Nexus) had always been. One Plus has been pretty close too. I just don't think it's worth more than $500-600 for a phone. I honestly don't like paying more than $300, but there's nothing close to that of decent quality it seems.

Holding onto my current phone for at least another year. At least the battery tech seems to have finally matured.

I feel like one has Stockholm Syndrome when they are excited to be given a 'headphone jack.' On a serious note, vote with your wallet! There's at least two of us.

I won't buy a phone without a headphone jack.

2019, when a headphone jack is a bonus.
