Today we learned that the LeEco Le Pro 3, apart from being a brown beast with 6 GB of RAM, Snapdragon 821 and a 4.070 mAh battery, will lack an audio jack output. Another terminal Android that joins some of the variants of the Motorola Moto Z and that iPhone 7 that has been played to dispense with this important connection. As it seems that we are facing a trend, and more after knowing that even the Galaxy S8 could pass in front of that connector, now we have another smartphone that goes that way.
HTC has unveiled the Desire series yesterday and it seems that they will not be the last smartphones from this manufacturer that we will see before the end of the year. At least for Sprint carrier customers in the United States, who will find a new flagship device very soon. This would be the HTC Bolt, which is not the successor of that Thunderbolt of 2011, and that will have as great detail the fact that it dispenses with the audio jack output in a surprising way. So it adds to that trend of smartphones without a jack.
The HTC Bolt will come to the heat of the HTC 10, but with a very striking feature and that is the 3,5mm jack audio output elimination of the telephone. I have already mentioned that we have some variants of the Moto Z, the iPhone 7 and possibly, according to rumors, the Samsung Galaxy S8.
The Bolt is not a phone that will reach everyone, as it is enfocused on one country and one operator, but it opens us up to a possibility that is that we see more and more smartphones without an audio jack and those USB Type-C connections are the ones that take control. We will see what happens, since at the moment everything is well divided and the flagships of Samsung and others will determine if we will see this trend become something general.
