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.

Xperia 1 VI works in USA, just not with all bands and carriers

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

I'm satisfied with my https://moondroplab.com/en/products/miad01

It's got two jacks!

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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 1 week 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.

Now do one for phones that still have a microsd slot

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days 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.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week 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

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

I did not know about this line of phones, very interesting!

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.
