I don't like smartphones. I use a dumbphone.

But this is a wonderful initiative.

This would've been my new phone if it had a headphone jack.

Yup I'll stick with Xperia

I was trying so hard to buy one but Sony did not make them available at all in my country. The only way to buy an Xperia or a Zenfone 10 is through shady importer websites and you get no warranty.

From an environmental standpoint it doesn't make any sense to drop it. More batteries, more e waste

They sell earbuds, that's all you need to know why it doesn't have a jack anymore.

Really sad they dropped it
