Does anyone know if current Pixel/Samsung hardwarewill support this??
Bro I just want a public RCS API. That’s literally the only feature I want in Android 14.
Never happening for all of Google’s talk of blaming Apple for not supporting RCS. They don’t fully support it at least by allowing 3rd party clients.
Does anyone know if current Pixel/Samsung hardwarewill support this??
It doesn’t seem like they’ve said one way or the other (unless I missed something). It would be nice if it did but if I’m being honest I’m guessing no. If only new phones will have it then it will push more people to continue their yearly/bi-yearly upgrade cycle.
I refuse to “upgrade” until they put the aux port back. Still rocking my 4a 5G, it’s great AND has an aux port tyvm.

I’m using the Xperia 1V! I have nothing to add. I just want to flex that I’m using it.

You see that Radicalized@lemmy.one?? I’ve got options!
I’d love to keep the clean OS experience of the Pixel but I may have to go with Sony on my next phone. This one should last for another two or three years though.

Thanks for the additional info! I’ll definitely be keeping this in mind when I’m finally forced to switch off the 4a.
I’m on an Xperia 1 III for the same reason. It’s been a fantastic phone, and I’m only now realizing how old it’s gotten by noticing they’re up to V.
Sure but the rating means nothing. Phones still get water damaged and if they do are not covered by warranty. Just makes it harder to water damage.
Yeah, but that’s a headphone jack, so there is a DAC somewhere in the phone. The traditional 3.5 mm AUX port is meant to have no DAC behind it and is made to directly plug into an amplifier, I believe you and OP are talking about 2 different things.

A 3.5 mm AUX port on a digital only output device would need a DAC , thought I usualy only see a 3.5 mm headphone jack on those devices, rarely a 3.5 mm AUX port). Analogue capable devices sometimes had two 3.5 mm ports for ages, one for headphones using an internal amplifier (often pretty bad)and one to plug directly into an amplifier called the 3.5mm AUX. Sound wasn’t preamplified before the 3.5 mm AUX plug. That caused many people to confuse 3.5 mm AUX and 3.5 mm headphone jacks and wonder why the sound was barely within hearing range. I beleive OP got confused in the nomenclature.

Dude you’re never getting an aux port ever again.
Hey buddy, T-Mobile has modern network compatible flip phones. You think I won’t go back?! I’ll go back!!
Respect for the conviction!
Do they have an aux port though?
The ones I looked at in the store near me did! That was a few months ago when I was shopping for a new carrier.

Ah yes, sattelite SMS messaging, just as we all asked for!
It could prove extremely useful in an emergency
Perhaps you were being sarcastic, but I’m very excited about this feature. I often visit rural areas, and if I got a flat I would love my phone to be useful for letting family know what’s going on.
Same although that’s why I got a Garmin InReach already but those are a lot of $ plus there is a subscription cost and all.
The source isn’t official. It’s a fan account.
