Samsung XCover 6 Pro has a IP68 rating despite having a headphone jack and a removable battery.
Comment on How many of you actually use the headphone jack on your phone?
dustyData@lemmy.world 11 months agoExactly this. It is about choice. I have a wireless phone and use a wireless headphones because my big wired headphones were too bulky for commute anyways. I still like to use my nice headphones at the computer. The experience is nicer. But despite having the top of the line wireless headphones for the phone, I can see how they are not gonna last the whole phone’s life. The phone isn’t any slimmer anyway, but it’s allegedly water proof.

Yep, this was always a lie, my Moto G3 was full water proof, went to the pool with it in my pocket several times, and it had a headphone jack.

You can get waterproof headphone jacks, just like how usb ports are now waterproof even without the sealed flaps we used to have to deal with. Even back then the headphone jacks didn’t go under a flap because they were fine as is.

I know, but it’s part of the BS they use to sell the removal.
