[General question to the Android community] Have you given up on the audio jack, or do you still only buy devices that have it?

Phones should have 2 USB C ports

One should be at the bottom one at the top. I understand space on the phone is a premium but a second port would make the phone so much more usable. Wired headphones, flash drives, camera modules, speaker modules, keyboards, even connection to a TV, all could be used while charging. It’s a shame it’s not a thing, USB is...

10 years ago, Google launched the 2nd-gen Nexus 7, and no tablet has captured its magic since (www.androidpolice.com)

Ten years ago today, Google released the 2nd-generation Nexus 7, just days after a surprise announcement. Back then, Android tablets still felt fresh and exciting.
