I gonna have to wait and see if they actually support this phone but if they do and continue to release phones like this (and ditch the curved glass screen) I would be totally down to switch.

Are those features that uncommon now?

Also, I thought HTC went out of business some time ago.

they're functionally extinct

Yes, the joke in the meme is that Sony is the only "flagship" company that still has those features.

(Though calling them a flagship company might be a little generous)

As for HTC, it's possible that another company bought the rights to the name, i'm not sure. They were making VR headsets for a while, so it's possible they just backed out of the phone market and did something else.

Either way, the phone looks good, with some minor tweaks and some proper long term support it could be a serious competitor

Nice.

Haven't noticed the features disappearing from the market. All my phones so far had them since the android rising. Guess I've been lucky.

What phone is this? I thought they released one but no jack. I'd be interested if it has one and an unlockable bootloader.

Nevermind. Just saw your post under.

Since the thread has grown large and I had trouble finding the comment I'll just link it here (sorry the link is instance specific, it seems you can't make relative ones)
