They do not have 3.5mm jack cause they want to force you to get bluetooth earphones, cause who have 1000k for phone, 100 more fot that is nothing. Same is for storage, to force u to get with more memory, which is ofc more expensive. Same for power adapter, case, screen protector, etc. They want to take more and more money from u. People who get budget and lower midrange devices count every single euro. Its very simple.

    Alex 94, 06 Sep 2023Yes, thats why every flagship use lcd, lol.have fun wearing glasses by the time you're 40 and unexplained headaches.

    but i guess you can tell everyone that you had the best OLED screen so it was worth it.

      Alex 94, 06 Sep 2023I talking about soc, not device.But this soc's gpu is terrible, comparable to 2018 midranges. 695 gpu is more than 75% faster.

        Alex 94, 06 Sep 2023Yes, thats why every flagship use lcd, lol.Flagships don't have power adaptor, MicroSD slot or 3.5 mm jack either.
        Not having these must be another great "feature", isn't it?

        I can't understand why some people can't tolerate someone's opinions.

            Hemedans, 06 Sep 2023But not the case here, ufs 2.2 has been used and lpddr4x. I talking about soc, not device.

                              GSMArena team what happened to battery tests?...Why'd you skimp on the essential battery test?..The way I see this is quality control actually going down. Disappointed with you as it was quite a standardised test.

                                Alex 94, 06 Sep 2023Sd 4 gen 2 is better than sd 695. Its 4nm, use lpddr5x, ufs 3.2.Is not better here. The chipset does support faster RAM and storage but that's up to the OEM to use it. Redmi 12 5G/POCO M6 Pro use LPDDR4X and UFS 2.2 so there's no advantage. And the GPU is considerably worse. The only thing it has going on is the matching CPU performance and maybe the Samsung 4nm process vs TSMC 6nm.

                                      Their chipset is really bad, no UFS 3.1 nor LPDDR5 on this device.
