Smartphones without 3.5 mm mini-Jack

Without mini-Jack 3.5 mm

— devices that do not have a 3.5 mm mini-Jack connector.

For more information about this type of connector, see the relevant paragraph. Here we note that the absence of such an interface has its advantages. Firstly, due to this, the device can be made more compact (or it can be provided with a more advanced hardware — a more capacious battery, additional electronic modules or storage, etc.). Secondly, the fewer connectors, the easier it is to protect the case from dust and moisture; Moreover, the absence of unnecessary ports through which moisture can penetrate increases the reliability of even those devices that are not technically waterproof. As for the use of headphones, ordinary wired models with a 3.5 mm plug cannot be directly connected to such a device, but this is not always a serious drawback. First, wireless Bluetooth headphones are getting better and cheaper at the same time; secondly, there are headphones for universal connectors like USB-C or Lightning, as well as adapters for connecting models with mini-Jack to such connectors.
