We all know that the curved display and lack of a microSD card slot received’t sit effectively with some. No less than the corporate outfitted the telephone with a Cirrus CS4313 DAC to make use of with wired headsets. No, there’s no 3.5mm jack on board, however you get a USB-C headset and a USB-C to three.5 mm adapter within the field. And a 55W charger for the 4,200 mAh battery. That’s a well-stocked retail package deal.
