Does the Google Pixel 6a have a 3.5mm headphone jack?

When I look at outside information it says the Google Pixel 6a doesn’t have a headphone jack:

Digital Trends article:

Does the Google Pixel 6a Have a Headphone Jack?

Of all the new upgrades Google mentioned for the Pixel 6a at Google I/O 2022 — including the Tensor processor, longer battery life, sleeker design, and robust camera features — it left out the headphone jack.

 

But when I look at the specs on the T-Mobile website it says it does:

New Google Pixel 6a: View Prices, Specs & Colors | T-Mobile

  • Battery Description 4306 mAH
  • Ports 3.5mm, USB Type-C
  • Connectivity Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and 6E (6GHz) with MIMO, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC

Which is true? Or does only the T-Mobile version come with a headphone jack?

  • I would go with what’s on Googles website. I doubt they make 2 different versions.

    My wife has the Pixel 5a5g and it doesn't have it either .

  • So I went ahead and looked up the specs on Google’s website and it says the only port is a USB-C port. So no headphone jack.

  • My wife has a 3a XL and I have the 4a (4G) and both DO have the headphone jack. Mine is actually stored in a drawer because I didn’t really like it and went back to a flip phone, but the wife likes her bigger screen on the 3a XL and it looks like the 6a has a big screen too. But we both kind of like having a headphone jacks.
