It's not us who are crazy!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago (7 children)

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

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago

I got the Xperia 1 VI, the headphone port seriously lacks power. It's like half of what i'd expect from a phone. They might have bent a knee to some EU regulation. All my older cheaper phones could drive my larger cans, this one doesn't leave much headroom.

Sony

Can't trust them ever again. Had an XZ Premium, and they took away Miracast in an update.

And I'm still not over them taking away Linux support on the PS3....

Now do one for phones that still have a microsd slot

[–] Retrograde 22 points 3 weeks ago (12 children)

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.

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

[–] madcaesar 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

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

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.

Which ones have 1/4" jacks?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Some people just can't be pleased, lol

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

Still mostly loving my cheap Motorola g84. Rarely use the headphone jack but it's there. The stereo speakers in it are pretty good.

Biggest gripe is it kills Facebook messenger in the background no matter what you do. WhatsApp unaffected though.

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

the Sony would be the perfect phone if it was rootable, in the usa, and was a pixel.

I want to throw Unihertz a shout-out. I only have the JellyPhone for its novelty, but as far as devices go, it does all the things an Android phone should, even with the silly form factor. It being stock Android is a big plus as well

I can’t necessarily speak for their other phones, but if the build quality is the same, I really like what they’re doing.

The Moto G Power 5g 2024 has been a great phone for me. Hard to find a phone with all the features but a headphone jack as well.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

My phone doesn't have a headphone jack but has an FM radio. It took me ages to 1) realise I needed a pass through cable without a DAC and 2) find a pass-through cable without a DAC.
