    Does anyone know if current Pixel/Samsung hardwarewill support this??

    It doesn’t seem like they’ve said one way or the other (unless I missed something). It would be nice if it did but if I’m being honest I’m guessing no. If only new phones will have it then it will push more people to continue their yearly/bi-yearly upgrade cycle.

    I refuse to “upgrade” until they put the aux port back. Still rocking my 4a 5G, it’s great AND has an aux port tyvm.

        Sure but the rating means nothing. Phones still get water damaged and if they do are not covered by warranty. Just makes it harder to water damage.

        Yeah, but that’s a headphone jack, so there is a DAC somewhere in the phone. The traditional 3.5 mm AUX port is meant to have no DAC behind it and is made to directly plug into an amplifier, I believe you and OP are talking about 2 different things.

        You see that Radicalized@lemmy.one?? I’ve got options!

        I’d love to keep the clean OS experience of the Pixel but I may have to go with Sony on my next phone. This one should last for another two or three years though.
