Would you guys prefer a 3.5mm headphone jack or dual speakers on a phone?

The example phones specs are the same, this is just an option given to us by the manufacturer. Would you take the headphone jack or the dual speakers?...

I think this has already been posted here before and got deleted. There is this awesome Google Photos album with stock wallpapers from every single device. When a new device is released its wallpapers are uploaded there almost instantly.

Here's the link: https://goo.gl/photos/4Lsx63hCRz8YhkHx7...
