Lenovo and Motorola unveiled the 2022 Moto flagships today at Tech World with a line of modular back plates and a few months of Verizon exclusivity (boo). That's not the only thing to be annoyed about. According to Motorola's spec sheet for the Moto Z devices, it only does audio over the Type-C port. We've checked out the device in real life to ostend, and there's no headphone jack to be found. This does non seem like a good idea.

The Droid-branded versions of the phones will come out first, and right there on the spec sheet is the following.

USB-C port for headphones, charging and information transfer, 3.five mm to USB-C headphone port adapter included

This isn't the first attempt to practise abroad with the venerable headphone jack. LeEco announced a few jack-less phones recently, and there have been rumors that Apple would ditch the port besides. The Oppo R5 as well lacked a headphone jack. However, the Moto Z is past far the most mainstream phone to skip the standard 3.5mm jack.

Type-C headphones do exist, only they're extremely rare. Regular headphone jacks are everywhere still. Thus, Moto Z owners will be stuck using the adapter or Bluetooth for audio. Maybe that will exist alright for some people, merely I imagine there volition even so be plenty of times the lack of a 3.5mm jack will be a major annoyance.
