A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

there's no news on the specifics of the device just yet, just a couple of sneak peaks. so it's hard to say if it will be returning the headphone jack, ~~bringing back expandable storage,~~ or using newer models of SoC that aren't immediately out of OEM update support. if these problems can be addressed, then the hardware of the phone will be fair game in my books.
however, the misleading marketing and the shameful software support are likely to unchange. the software support is a massive gaping hole that i feel like isn't being discussed enough. taking 6 years to provide 3-4 years of software support shouldn't be touted as excellence.
EDIT: i was wrong about the expandable storage, there was some more discussion on this thread.
