Will be very nice to see black bars on this duo when you use services provided by Sony Pictures and PS.
They dont use 18:9.
Last year they said no.plans for 18:9, that jack was not going anywhere.
Are they really going to offer the adapter? Because many markets dont get fast charger out of box, sometimes not even the cheap earphones.
@XJ Does the sim slot require tool like all other that copy Apple or still is the flap?

Quick question regarding the headphone jack.
If all brands suddenly drop it from their entire range moving forward what would you do then?
It looks like Sony will provide a splitter in the box anyway plus with all Android DEVICES running Oreo now have LDAC support I really don't see what the issue is personally.
@Moe not a clue unfortunately mate.

The jack going away is sad. Having a splitter is nice but it's not a clean solution. Bluetooth has improved but it's still a pretty terrible wireless technology as far as getting things connected and staying connected in comparison to others. Sometimes having a hardware solution is better and how much space does a headphone jack really take up anyway?
looking forward to monday for sure. i want to see something amazing, but i fear i'll be tempted to upgrade when i shouldn't be spending the money

If S9 can house a headphone jack pretty sure the new xperias can too. It's not a question of empty space but choice.
Btw I really wish they could bring back double tap to wake and turn off.

Even with LDAC, quality of wired is still superior.
The " dongle" like other phones have can be annoying for many ppl.
It may get damaged easily inside pocket.
It would be better if it was like the TV antenna of M5 ( antenna had the jack) instead of split.
Sony does not sell all accessories world wide.
Not all their BT earphones/headphones have LDAC.
BT makes the phone use more power.
I dont know if it is true, but I heard BT is forbidden on Airplanes.
Last time I was on a airplane I was young and did not have cellphone.
So I cant say about it..
It is easier and cheaper to replace jack if it gets broken compared to usb.
Since Z3, phones have support for usb audio. Since Z3+, LDAC is here. Why not kill jack before?
Many users ( those who dont read about tech) dont know what LDAC is. They may end up buying BT headphones from any brand.
This move may not help to increase sales of their headphones.
On internet many ppl say they are getting XZP or XZ1 instead of XZ2. Main reason is the jack.
I see tons of same comments about HTC.
U11 is awesome in my opinion, but the no jack kills it.

Agreed - I have a friend who travels across the US biking. She doesn't want a dongle. It's one more thing to break or lose. And it plugs into your charging port, so if it bends in your pocket because you sit down on it, now you can't even recharge when you come across power sources.
Having said that, it does take up some noticeable space that could be used for something else (more or larger cameras, or giving into the crying sheep about smaller bezels (just like moving the side finger print sensor):

It's a matter of tradeoffs. I'm an engineer (not for mobile phones), and sure, if someone else has done it, you know it's possible. But maybe the Japanese drive for quality won't allow them to use certain (smaller) components which would allow it. Or who knows what other thing they'd have to tradeoff. Sometimes it isn't obvious - but I'm sure they have a very good reason for it (I'm guessing it helps them make the top bezel smaller).
Btw I really wish they could bring back double tap to wake and turn off.
Hear! Hear!

I beg to differ on that one mate, I've got both the MDR-1A'S and the MDR-1000X and compared both with the same 24bit Hi-Res track on my XZ Premium and the MDR-1000X is superior in my opinion and that's with the MDR-1A's using the better quality audio cable too.
