The headphone jack is commonly seen in smartphones before, but because of high-end flagships, the standard headphone jack will be slowly cut down. Like the rumors floating around that the 2017 version of Google's Pixel phone will drop the standard 3.5mm headphone jack.

According to 9to5Google, when Google revealed its Pixel and Pixel XL, the company semi-teased Apple for pulling the 3.5mm port from a phone's body, which gives an offer of some advantages. But now there is a possibility that Google might discard the jack in the next-generation of Pixel.

One of the first OEMs that remove its headphone jack was Lenovo with the release of Moto Z and Moto Z Force. Though many are not paying attention to those phones, surprisingly some tech enthusiasts were shocked when rumors begin circulating about Apple's plan of removing the port for its upcoming iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.

As indicated by CNet, the reasons why Google want to get rid of the headphone jack is that it has an easier waterproofing, which is the biggest knock against Pixel when it is not a water-resistant. In a phone's thickness, every bit of space counts, so by dropping a jack would permit a lot of space for a slightly bigger battery and will be getting a denser design as well.

Since wireless headphones are everywhere, wire headphones will be going to feel as an old-fashioned as Ethernet cables, wire keyboards, and wire mouse. When Google brag the continued inclusion of the headphone jack on the launching day of Pixel, a lot of iPhone 7 user were going to adjust but maybe a few of them will seem to be happy.

If Google will kill the Pixel's headphone jack, it loses the key to the feature differentiation from the iPhone. At some point, Google does not have any headphones to offer, so there will be a little business incentive to drive the user to wireless headphones.
