I just want a dedicated headphone jack.
I finally had to retire my dying LG V30 that I wanted to keep forever because it had a headphone jack.
I like the power and build quality of flagship phones but no flagships have a headphone jack anymore so fuck em. I'm not gonna spend upwards of $1000 for a phone that doesn't have the features I want.
I ended up buying a cheap Motorola that has a headphone jack, wireless charging, and an SD card slot. I do miss the AOD that is only available on OLED displays though. It's a bit chonkier than I'd like but overall for 300 bucks I'm pretty happy.
What Motorola did you get?
Moto G Power 2025
How long have you had it? I was looking at that phone, but the one star reviews (there were many), scared me off.
More than anything I just want a newer/supported version of what I am still using, the Pixel 4a. It's about as big as I want a phone to get, has been rock solid for over four years, and it supports GrapheneOS (or did before they cut support).
Thank you SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE
I had a Galaxy S6 that I was keeping because it had the headphone jack and an IR blaster. I wasn't daily driving it but always knew where it was just in case. Dug it out recently to charge it up and discovered the dreaded battery bloat. Safely disposed of it and reminisced on its halcyon days.
Then buy a device that has one. The fact that so many models dropped it just made picking a new device so much easier because there's less to choose from.
I pretty much had to buy Sony if I wanted to have a headphone jack. Phone was way too expensive so I hope it lasts a while, came with headphones included though
