This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
LG ending their mobile division really sucked, the V series phones were some of the best phones ever imo. I really miss my V30, the quad DAC was awesome and the camera was actually pretty amazing too. They also weren't bloated with unremovable shit like flagships are nowadays.
Agreed, I've got expensive headphones that I can no longer use with my phone because apparently we don't want/need headphone jacks anymore. Less features and phones are more expensive than ever. Yay consumerism.
