Why does google pixel 2 remove the 3.5mm jack?

This week Google organized its own event in which it presented the new products that they will launch this fall. Although the star of the event was the new Google Pixel 2, which we met the specifications for. In the presentation we were also able to know the final design of the device, and there was one detail that did not go unnoticed.

Why does the Google Pixel 2 remove the 3.5mm jack?

Google has followed the trend of many brands this year and the Google Pixel 2 does not have the 3.5mm jack. Following in the footsteps of companies like Apple. This decision remains controversial for users and many question Google's motives.

Google removes the audio jack

Google and Samsung were two of the companies that resisted removing the 3.5mm audio jack in 2016. Now, a year later, the company surprises users with the removal of this aspect. Why has Google made this decision? Luckily, a Google manager has offered an answer to this decision. The reason the 3.5mm jack has been removed from the Google Pixel 2 is purely aesthetic.

Removing the audio jack is an early step for future device screens. Therefore, with this movement Google hopes to present screens with even smaller frames. Reason why the audio jack has no place in the phone.

So in the future we can expect new Google Pixel with screens without frames, but without the 3.5mm jack. Although, it must also be said that this decision is somewhat strange, since Samsung has managed to launch a phone with hardly any frames like the Galaxy S8, which has had a 3.5 mm jack. What do you think of Google's decision?
