It's aimed strictly at audiophiles. The extra jack is a 4.4mm jack that's more common in things like DACs.
An example:

Pair a phone like this with a pair of Sennheiser's and a bunch of FLAC files and you might have a really good time.
Oh so the jacks are different? Ok then. I thought the other sizes are dead or only used in niche $100k+ equipment
No I’ve got a $70 usb/bluetooth DAC w 3.5 and 2.5 jacks
but not 4.4mm which is apparently what the specialty jack on this phone is
