Removing headphone jack got the Razer phone a way bigger battery: CEO

Ever since Apple did away with the iPhone's headphone jack, the issue's been one of consternation every time another brand debuts a jackless phone.

A lot of the time, people accuse makers of dropping the jack in order to sell additional pricey Bluetooth headphones.

That was the same for Razer, which recently released its first ever smartphone; people said it was so they could sell its $79.99 USB C headphones, or $99.99 Bluetooth ones.

However, Razer CEO, Min-Liang Tan, has revealed that removing the headphone jack added a very respectable 500mAh to the phone's battery by way of size.
