        And you can’t charge/use OTG at once. Also if you plug in earphones 4 times a day and OTG/Charging cable or whatever say 5 times a day, splitting the wear between 2 connectors, you’d now be plugging and unplugging the USB port 9 times a day instead. So it also reduces lifespan of USB port.

        Also, I don’t need to carry a stupid dongle with me. And also, those phones don’t have FM radio.
        Lastly, it’s generally used as a push towards more expensive Bluetooth earphones, so that you’re likely to shell out even more money, and I hate that. Same with removable batteries, but I don’t get choice now.

      I just upgraded from X3 Pro to X6 (non-pro). The amoled itself is a warrant for the upgrade along with the software updates. This phone has headphone jack so you might be more interested in the non-pro version

        No memory card slot though. I currently have 128GB + 256GB and I am already running out of storage. There is a 512GB option, but that’s not future-proof. Anyway, as I’ll soon need 128GB + 512GB it wouldn’t be viable anyway. Sadly 1TB cards are too expensive for me.
        The screen I don’t care about. Actually I’d be worried about burn-ins. I know the technology has improved, but burn-ins on *LED will happen over time, and permanently. Which is also why I picked up a phone with IPS LCD.
        Lastly, Qualcomm SoC. I want to get a phone with MediaTek SoC due to no-root band selection in engineer mode (at least I hope that still exists).
        What remains is about as good as what I have now.

        Software, maybe. I am still on MIUI 12.5 with Android 11. I am always scared of software updates, whether it is my laptop, phone, phone apps, router firmware, etc… I’ve heard bad stuff about MIUI 13.
        Since Android 8, things are getting only more restrictive which breaks stuff.

      Your phone is still powerful compared to most smartphones. If you upgrade you get slightly better performance and improved efficiency, better display and other stuff in general. More importantly updates.
