At least for the next few years, I am pretty firm on needing a jack on my device.

I am currently using an LG v60, and while nice, it's starting to show its age.

Any suggestions on where to go next?

I was looking at the ROG phone, and while it does seem very nice, I feel like it is a bit much as I don't game on my device at all.

Are there any good phones I should be looking at?

Thanks!

The pixel 5a. Not only does it have a headphone jack, it also has a giant battery and decent specs. Excellent lineageOS support to boot. you can get them brand new OEM unlocked for about 200 bucks. (I might be biased I'm sending this message from one right now!)

Asus Zenfone 9 Google Pixel 4a

Nokia XR21. Waterproof, drop proof, 4 years of updates, programmable physical buttons.

I have its predecessor and it is a fabulous device.

What is showing its age on your v60? I still use, and recommend, a Samsung Note 10 Lite. It has a headphone jack and that terrific stylus built in. It's on Android 12 and has no lagginess issues that even new phones have. There is an Android 13 update too, but I have not updated yet.

My zenfone 8 is solid, but has high treble when listening on max on my headphone and Planar IEM. I would not necesserily recommend builtin jacks. If you can choose a lot cheaper device for lack of a jack, you can get a fucking great bluetooth adapter and a very good IEM from the difference.

Apart from that, I recommend Gigaset/Volla and Fairphone since they are servicable and have removable batteries.

Sony Xperia phones?

Not sure if you can still get a Samsung A52s. That'd be a nice pick if you still can get it. It's what I use and it's one of the few with the trifecta of features I was looking for: 3.5mm jack, memory card slot, and OIS in the main camera.

I've actually heard really good things about this.

Just wasn't sure about if the SD865 was already feeling sluggish to me, the Samsung midrange would feel even slower.

Low end of the price range is Alcatel, mid shelf prob Pixel or Zen, top shelf is Samsung.

What do you need from the minijack port? Easy access or great audio?

They make USB-C to headphone adapters that also have a USB-C for charging in case you need both art the same time. I hated losing my headphone jack, but the adapters work.

Can you explain more?

I have an iPhone which has a lightning connector - if I want to hook it up to the computer, I can either connect Bluetooth, or I can plug in a 3.5mm aux connector to the lightning port... which would also allow me to connect my old Sennheiser headphones.

However, for listening to podcasts at bedtime, I generally just use the computer which usually goes to sleep at bedtime - but I could adjust that.

LG v50 is my favourite. I selling one on e bay, EU only. It's totally like new.
