Comment on ASUS is apparently killing the ability to root present and future Zenfones

Oh come on. I wanted a zenfone, I wanted the compact phone with a headphone jack and actual components. But if they’re being cocky about it, there’s no point. I guess I’ll have to find another brand

Tbh the headphone jack is kind of mid on the zf8 anyway. Every IEM and headphone I had had a treble spike and lower bass on it for some reason.

  Agreed. I use a USBC dongle DAC now because the headphone jacks are usually underpowered.

  Still better than being stuck on bluetooth crap.

At least there is still kind of some alternatives, like the Xperia 5IV (and the upcoming Xperia 5V) and galaxy s23 though they have problems of their own.

Namely poor cooling on the xperias and the tens of versions of Galaxy phones making finding a compatible custom rom and kernel pretty much impossible if you live in the wrong parts of the world
