If the screen size increases, there should be even more space beneath, not less. In fact, removing the 3.5mm jack does nothing to save space although this excuse is frequently given. Previously, OnePlus claimed that the removal was necessary in order to accommodate the onscreen fingerprint scanner; now they have changed their story claiming its because they need space for the battery. The real reason is because they want to sell their new wireless earphones.

    Love the Community, 12 Dec 2018249%!? That means more stupid people buying a headphone jac... moreThat's not the reason, to be honest.
    U.S is a big market for bluetooth headphones.
    Remember the crap BOSE ? yap, the finest ANC to ever hit market but sounds like a crying baby who just ate 3 cockroaches.

    I decided to buy LG V40 and will stick with it until there are phones with better or at least the same audio capability through the forgotten jack.

    Eventhough i own 1000mx2, i still use my hd650 way more often. I only use sony for travelling since i don't want any cable tangled to my d.

    Actually the teardown shows that op 6t still could have insert 3,5mm jack, they are just playing bs like usual.

        DJ.Grand Theft Audio, 13 Dec 2018Please don't disrespect the headphone jack or wired headpho... more+1 to you. And the MOST BA*ED comment of all in this article.

          LOL, NOT really a big deal, except for the king of viral marketing.
          THIS year, they had a CARRIER branded phone with the t-mobile OnePlus 6T, which means t-mobile stores are promoting it. The Oppo OnePlus 6, was not carrier branded, and, unless you knew about it, no one that walked into any USA store, would of heard of it.
          So, once again, say you sold 10 last year, and you sold 20 THIS year, that's a 100% increase, but it still ain't worth crap!

            I have 20 different pairs of wired headphones and earphones that I use for various things including music production. You telling me to throw all of them in the garbage and replace them with some sort of technology that hasn't advanced much in all those 18 years it had started. I have apps on my phone that I make music on. You can't use Bluetooth headphones due to latency. How the hell is Bluetooth going to take over the amount of devices that has headphone Jacks.

                The 6t doesn't offer expandable storage at all so the second point is moot

                        249%!? That means more stupid people buying a headphone jackless phone. Because of that, the consumers are basically killing the jack and the us, the vocal people against removing the jack would lose... I got an ATH-M50x and I would find no use on this legendary relic if I got a phone like that.

                        I would buy some Aftershokz bone conduction headphones for example, if I wanted to buy a jackless phone but that costs a premium again.

                          Lau is talking complete bull cookies. Not possible to build a small phone with a great battery? What about the Sony Xperia Compact range? Or the Samsung A3 range? Hell, even the ancient Samsung mini series had great battery life.

                          As for removing the 3.5mm jack, no, it was not necessary, OnePlus are just obsessed with cramming needless technology into a handset so they can boast when standing at the urinals.

                            Lau is such a joke. He acts like he's the boss with all these high sales figures and his exorbitant decision to make OnePlus such a great device.
                            But deep down inside he's just doing whatever free materials he gets from them[OPPO], polishes them and says 'now comes a revolutionary product.'

                                        I guess if you sold 100 6 and now you sold 249 6T you did indeed increase 246%.. cut the bs and release hard numbers if you want us to take you seriously OnePlus.
