Having to use dongles on something that should be a damn standard is extremely inconvenient and unnecessary.
looks like i'm staying with cheap $100-$200 phones forever
don't care about phone games or cameras.
just care about headphones, calling, and messaging.
This except I do care about camera and youtube.
The phone I'm planning on getting is the Moto E4 Plus, it's 179.99, has a 5000mah battery, 5.5" 720p screen, microusb with fast charge, headphone jack, 13mp rear and 5mp front cameras which don't suck, etc
A flagship phone should add features, not remove them
