Here a truth no one wants to acknowledge: smart phones suck. Both iOS and Android are awful. Phones are unrepairable future e-waste. Being able to use your phone as a desktop has never happened beyond Samsung’s DeX for reasons I can’t comprehend, because there’s no good reason they couldn’t be. Smart phones are trash and have made the world a worse place.

Yeah I would love to have something like this. Especially considering Android is generally more secure than Windows and MacOS due to sandboxing.

Those will… not sell. Elementary school kids have smart phones. This isn’t 2009 when the cool kids are sharing earbuds to listen to their Zune.

I’m gonna buy an aux cable and blast a feedback loop until the battery explodes. I’d like to see your zune do that!

Even if they were they still wouldn’t sell, because they’re using earbuds LOL

I just want a phone designed to make spoken word more audible in noisy environments, so I don’t have to use some sketchy app when I’m trying to hear a poorly balanced podcast over the stove fan while cooking.
This just sounds like q feature that I’ve literally never seen anyone ask for outside of that or movies, basically

Try new moto phones. They have dolby presets and their podcast preset is quite good. I don’t know if all their phones support it, but most of the new ones have this.

The Moto phones are shockingly good value

Try out Shokz bone conducting headphones. They are awesome, you can hear the world around you, and the app has a vocal booster mode that makes listening to podcasts much better. It works really well on my 1.5 hour bike commute in traffic with road noise, and I can still hear the cars passing by.

Highly recommend Shokz! Absolutely love mine

It’s got it’s faults but I love the speakers on my Zenfone 10. Very loud with good bass, especially for a relatively compact phone.
I’d love a phone with a dedicated DAC and decent shielding like the old LG V devices. Whilst there are dedicated DAPs with these features at this point I’d prefer an all in one device. Although the ZD10 has a headphone jack I can hear humming with no music/sound through them -_-

Finally the phone for everyone who claims the fairphone is not sustainable anymore because they removed the headphone jack.

Meme phone for sure but the industry is so boring now that I’ve started to appreciate these occasional weird designs out of China.

One headphone jack is enough. Just pair it with a powerful amp and dac like on the LG V-series.
