Does anyone know if current Pixel/Samsung hardwarewill support this??
It doesn’t seem like they’ve said one way or the other (unless I missed something). It would be nice if it did but if I’m being honest I’m guessing no. If only new phones will have it then it will push more people to continue their yearly/bi-yearly upgrade cycle.
I refuse to “upgrade” until they put the aux port back. Still rocking my 4a 5G, it’s great AND has an aux port tyvm.
I’d love to keep the clean OS experience of the Pixel but I may have to go with Sony on my next phone. This one should last for another two or three years though.
Yeah, but that’s a headphone jack, so there is a DAC somewhere in the phone. The traditional 3.5 mm AUX port is meant to have no DAC behind it and is made to directly plug into an amplifier, I believe you and OP are talking about 2 different things.
A 3.5 mm AUX port on a digital only output device would need a DAC , thought I usualy only see a 3.5 mm headphone jack on those devices, rarely a 3.5 mm AUX port). Analogue capable devices sometimes had two 3.5 mm ports for ages, one for headphones using an internal amplifier (often pretty bad)and one to plug directly into an amplifier called the 3.5mm AUX. Sound wasn’t preamplified before the 3.5 mm AUX plug. That caused many people to confuse 3.5 mm AUX and 3.5 mm headphone jacks and wonder why the sound was barely within hearing range. I beleive OP got confused in the nomenclature.

I’m using the Xperia 1V! I have nothing to add. I just want to flex that I’m using it.
I’m sad that my phone broke a few months before it was released, especially since the prices were around the same!
Though, I’m happy with my 512gb 1IV that I got sooner than the 256gb 1V :) Congrats!
You see that [email protected]?? I’ve got options!

Thanks for the additional info! I’ll definitely be keeping this in mind when I’m finally forced to switch off the 4a.

I’m on an Xperia 1 III for the same reason. It’s been a fantastic phone, and I’m only now realizing how old it’s gotten by noticing they’re up to V.

Sure but the rating means nothing. Phones still get water damaged and if they do are not covered by warranty. Just makes it harder to water damage.
Dude you’re never getting an aux port ever again.
Hey buddy, T-Mobile has modern network compatible flip phones. You think I won’t go back?! I’ll go back!!
Respect for the conviction!
Do they have an aux port though?
The ones I looked at in the store near me did! That was a few months ago when I was shopping for a new carrier.
You can from Sony!
