I stopped caring about the headphone jack when every pair I used, the wire eventually wore out. Having to buy more every couple months was getting old. I'd rather recharge my Airpods every 4 or 5 hours for 45 mins than continue buying wired headphones repeatedly for enternity.

But that's just my personal experience. I use headphones at work, so obviously with all the constant moving around, it was hard on the wires. I don't wish for the jack to be removed but I will never use it again for my purposes.

Problem is finding one and an unlocked bootloader so you can get rid of all the Google crap.

For the crazy people like me who won't let it go

[–] [email protected] 129 points 3 days ago (33 children)

It's not crazy to want to keep using your excellent wired headphones and not rely on battery powered bullshit

I have a Samsung xcover 6 pro. It has the jack + 2 sims + 1 microsd + removable battery

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

You too? Right on!

I honestly would have never touched a Samsung phone again had I not discovered the XCover - Pro line of phones.

I would love buying a Sony Xperia if it had a better update policy and wasn't that expensive

[–] madcaesar 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The price is insane. Have never been able to own a Sony phone, which is a shame

Now do one for phones that still have a microsd slot

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Moto stylus 5g has both. The review said it had bloatware, but it had way less than my S9 or z fold 4. It's running pretty lean out of the box, with just a few moto apps you don't really need.

Sony has both! I'm rocking a 1tb SD card at the moment that I swap into my drone and laptop for quick file transfer and it's amazing.

This one has TWO headphone ports!

  • I love the official brochure for the camera: "It's not good but it works".

Edit: Damn you, you edited the thing i said while i was writing it. :D

[–] DoeJohn 3 points 2 days ago

Looks pretty great, though I'd never buy it due to the lack of software support. I wish that developers making these phones would just allow easy bootloader unlock and give the device trees needed for custom roms. The community would do the rest, just like Xiaomi phones in the old days.

Which ones have 1/4" jacks?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Some people just can't be pleased, lol

Would that be for a direct input from an instrument, say?

[–] octoham 2 points 2 days ago

nah i got some studio headphones and they got a 1/4 inch connector

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

I'm holding out for one with mini-XLR myself

[–] disguy_ovahea 21 points 3 days ago (12 children)

No mention of the DAC quality of any of the models. I’d hope the Sony one is decent.

I'm still using a Samsung S10e and its starting to show signs of wear, but I honestly don't like any of the replacements I've seen that are under $1000 and I don't want to spend that much on a phone. And unfortunately it looks hard to find older versions too.

I tried looking into old version of the Asus ROG or Red Magic phones that still performed better than my S10e but even those were still so pricy.
