Google explains the absence of the 3,5mm plug on the Pixel 2

After the launch of the Google Pixel 2, the issue of the end of 3,5mm jacks on devices came to light. After the negative reaction of several fans of the brand after the realization, several Google employees began to participate in forums and official websites to explain the decision.

Orrin Hancock, Community Manager at Google, justified the lack of the P2 port on the grounds that the USB-C port works as a headphone jack, so the company chose to eliminate the old port, which offers a lower sound experience. According to Orrin, this is the first step towards a future where smartphones do not have any kind of edge.

Other employees, in lesser positions, told users on the official Google forums that through the measure it would be possible to listen to music while the smartphone was being charged, justifying that they can use a dongle with a headphone output and another for the charger, or even purchase a Bluetooth headset.

Even with all the explanations, users were not convinced by the employees, they said that the Google Pixel 2 does not have such small edges.

To complete, others remembered Google's speech in relation to Apple's iPhone at the launch event of the first generation Pixel precisely about the 3,5mm plug.
