At the bottom. This way when you will it out of your pocket, you don't have to turn it around for the screen to be the right way up.

Neither. I want it on the front, right in the center.

Not pickyβ€”it just needs to be there else I would be forced to buy Bluetooth e-waste.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, cabled e-waste is so much more civilised.

I don't know what kind of shit you guys buy, but I have used one single pair of Bluetooth tws earbuds since pre-covid and never looked back to wired which, at least in my experience, are the ones more prone to breaking

Edit: and it's not like I got Apple airpods or anything, they are haylou gt1 that I paid like 25$ for in 2019 or 18

Edit2: and yes I do have a micro jack in my phone which I have not used once for the three years I have had this phone

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Not my experience. I've spent way more on bluetooth headphones/buds than I ever spent on wired. 🀷

Bottom. It slows accumulation of pocket lint in charging port.

I prefer the headphone jack to be Bluetooth, honestly... Haven't had a physical port in many years and found I didn't miss it at all

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Psst.... imma let you in on a secret. You can have a headphone jack, AND Bluetooth. They're not mutually exclusive.

Lucky. I have collected a fair bit of audio gear that use very frequently. The dongles dislodge from the charging port too easily to be useful. I do use BT dac/amps but most of the time I'm in too much of a hurry to bother and I rely on the jack almost entirely.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Anywhere but the bottom half of the phone. I hate that the charging port is on the bottom. It’s in the way when I need to use my phone while charging.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

bottom, so I can charge it and have headphones plugged in at the same time while it's in my pocket.

I had the last generation iPod nano, and none of the clip-on cases I could find would put it upside down like the way I preferred my phone so I cut it with an exacto knife to reverse it

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Ever since I've gotten some decent noise cancelling Bluetooth headphones, I don't really care where the headphone jack is or even if there is one. It happened way too many times that the cable got snagged on something and yanked the buds out of my ears, and I'm well past the age where I had the cable under my shirt and the earbuds dangling in front of me all the time. Especially when running or otherwise exercising, I don't miss the cable one tiny bit.

I do not care about having a headphone jack, but it would be nice to have the charging port on top; it's more out of the way for me.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Bottom, because I put my phone in my pocket top down.

I haven't used either so no clue. No headphone jack on the s21

Edit: why was I downvoted?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Dongle life!

If you use a phone in landscape it makes more sense than people think.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

You eat pizza sideways, don't you?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

Top. If I put the phone in the cup holder it sits more naturally if the jack is at the top

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

I like having it on top for being able to set my phone up against something still, but if it’s in my pocket I want the top of my phone down so I take it out it’s right, which means the bottom Jack works better. So ideally I’d want both

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

If the screen rotates 180 degrees then I don't care where the jack is.

When in my pocket or on a call I want the jack "up"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Just noticed that android will do all other orientations BUT 180, lol...
