I guess. not everyone is like you. Some people have wired headphones, some don't want to buy a bluetooth headphone, some don't like to listen to inferior quality wireless music, some don't want additional chore of charging BT headphones.
But there's usb c adapters. I have them

So anyone knows if this is a better phone or Samsung Flip3 5G? They're the same price, but a little different. For example, flip3 is compact, but this gets better battery life. Which has better performance other than battery?

Many of us don't want the hassle of having to charge another gizmo and loosing functionality when the battery is dead.

Got this at best buy last month, openbox-fair for $200. Besides missing the charger/cable, it had a slight smudge on the back that rubbed right off. Not a scratch.

The bootloader unlocks easily (this isn't the verizon xt2141-1 variant with mmwave). Do know that unlocking will break widevine l1 with android 12: https://github.com/kdrag0n/safety...1198444978

As of the current update (S1RMS32.48-18-11-2), the carrier policies for verizon exclude n77 for some reason... This is a massive penalty, and without it, you might as well be using an lte phone. Perhaps it'll be addressed in a future update, but until then, you can flash the fsg image from the verizon xt2141-1 firmware to enable n77. I'm on visible (verizon mvno), and at my apartment go from ~3-5mbps to 200mbps by enabling n77. This requires unlocking the bootloader though, so while it's perhaps the most critical tweak in my opinion, I wouldn't recommend it for most people.

Here's the fsg image extracted from XT2141-1_BERLNA_VZW_11_RRMS31.Q3-23-39-14-1-2_subsidy-VZW_RSU_QCOM_regulatory-DEFAULT_cid51_CFC: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1...sp=sharing

Should be good 5g band support for tmobile out of box though.

If you're looking for a case, the motorola one is extremely bulky in the hand, and makes the buttons hard to use. The spigen one is cheaper and better. Unfortunately, it also has a raised lip around the camera, which allows the phone to rock when placed down. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B09D5S6JGZ

Screen is a bit miserable compared to oled as expected, but you get used to it. Adaptive framerate switches between 60 and 120, but seems to get stuck at 60 a lot. Better to just lock it to 144. Uses slightly more power, but it's really not a "2 day battery" anyway.

Moto peek is ok, but missing a critical toggle. There's no way to disable lift to wake. The slightest movement causes it to wake, which destroys battery life, especially with an lcd display. When driving with it in a car mount, it activates every other second. Shame to have to disable it, but it looks like people have been complaining about it for years and moto just isn't interested.

usb-c port is actually usb2 only. Single downfiring speaker does as well as it can, but is obviously lacking.

At $200 openbox, I'd say this phone is a no brainer. Was able to turn a few bucks sidegrading my oneplus 7t and taking advantage of the preorder pixel 6a tradein.

$350 puts it awfully close to the pixel 6a, especially with the market absolutely flooded with them from people taking advantage of the preorder (free buds A) + inflated tradein ($280 for my oneplus 7t..). Looks like prices have climbed slightly, but there's still a million listings on ebay/swappa for a sealed 6a for just under $400. https://swappa.com/listings/googl...=new&sort=

I'm content with this phone and will be using it for the next year or two, but I wouldn't buy it at $350. Just grab an unopened 6a on swappa for about the same price, save the headaches, and enjoy more years of updates.

edit: The phone supports usb-pd 9v x 3a = 27w / pps 10v x 3a = 30w. As far as cheap aftermarket chargers go, this is probably the best deal, and supports 30w charging just fine: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B09K7HQ87W It's for 2 ravpower (banned on amazon) chargers for $12. Cables not included

Where are you seeing the flip3 5g for $350? Snapdragon 888 was the flagship soc vs the mid/higher-tier 778g in the edge2021.

Most phones with a headphone jack also had FM radio (which btw, used no cell data).

If you mean the Samsung Z Flip 3 it's currently $829 on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B097CN57TH over twice as expensive as this Moto Edge deal. The Z Flip 3 is a folding phone, this isn't. The Flip 3 has a faster processor and more RAM.

Audiophiles prefer wired headphones vs wireless.

The Orpheus from Sennheiser is $55k and wired. Plenty of $4k "flagships" all wired.

I'm no audiophile but dabbled in that world for awhile

Best Buy has both AT&T and Verizon versions for $300, with some extra expenses and hoop-jumping to get them unlocked.

I'm on mobile, it's easier if you just search here on Slickdeals for "flip3" for those two Slickdeals threads.
