From time to time, big manufacturers communicate with their customers to know their expectations. yesterday, Oppo did that. The vice president of Oppo did a survey on Weibo where he asked: “Do you think it is necessary to keep the 3.5 mm audio port and also retain the USB Type-C?” Well, anyone who is close to the smartphone industry will know that the 3.5 mm audio port is quite popular amongst smartphone fans and the USB Type-C is loved too.
