In recent years, the 3.5mm audio jack has become one of the most popular stereo audio port and at the same time disliked interface by many enthusiasts. That glimpsed from the increased demand for wireless headphones. However, still the majority of users prefer to find this port on their smartphone, many of the big companies in the industry insist on removing it forever in favor of wireless technologies. This time, the OnePlus 6T, the Chinese company’s new terminal that will arrive in the coming weeks will not have 3.5mm stereo audio jack.
Carl Pei, the co-founder of OnePlus, has confirmed in recent hours that the OnePlus 6T will no longer be equipped with the 3.5 mm jack, so the only way to listen to music with headphones is via Bluetooth. The manager of the Chinese company pointed out that this decision was taken with the aim of improving the user experience. The Asian company believes that the removal of this capability is a minor disadvantage at this time that offers more interesting benefits.
According to Carl Pei, one of these advantages is that the battery capacity of the OnePlus 6T will be greater than that of its predecessor thanks to the space released by the audio plug. Additionally, they found that 59 percent of users have been using wireless headphones since the beginning of the year, so they consider it the best time.
