Remove 1$ component, then sell 10$ dongle to solve the problem.
"Brilliant".

Okay, so OnePlus ditches the headphone jack, but not add wireless charging?

I will call this as dumbest decision taken by one plus
Mr. Pete is taking decision like Nokia's Elope
not taking feedback from the customers. just taking decision on the bases what they think
1. 3.5 mm jack is one of the preference of customer today.
2. waterproofing is not just for swimmer...it help in rain or accident fall in water.
3. adding a lil cost would matter...they added cost from 5T to 6....does it bother if it will bit more.
you guys can change the position of the headphone jack...say on top of the phone,
if there is no place on lower side.
don't be a dumb

How does Vivo V11 Pro manage to have full screen display, in-display fingerprint and yet have a 3.5mm jack? OP is simply doing sales talk. They are now a mid range premium brand and trying to go with what the market is doing. First it was notch, now 3.5mm jack is gone. Who knows what next?

Well rather have fingerprint reader under display than a piece of super old ancient technology with no future at all in age of wireless and bluetooth.
I am glad for this decision. And many else will agree.
There are zillions of cordless options for earphones and earplugs.
Nobody will care apart the people which lives in past.

1 dollar jack on 1 million smartphones makes for 1 milluon $ economy/profit if not included in the device.
That's the short explanation. Apple invented it and now the rest follow it.

Yeah right, that's why Vivo NEX and Vivo V11 managed to still have both headphone jack and in-display fingerprint scanner.

I've just read a comment about in display finger finger print scanners not working if a screen protector is fitted, which is pretty obvious I guess but something I'd never thought of

I'm so glad that I bought the 5t. After that we got the notch on the 6 and now we'll have an in-display fingerprint reader that is probably not as fast as the one on the 5t or 6, no headphonejack that is always nice to have..
