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

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

Also have you seen how narrow and tall it is? Feels like an extended switchblade >.<

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.
it kills Facebook messenger in the background no matter what you do
Sounds like a feature rather than a bug! Seriously though is it something like memory usage and fb wants way more resource? Is messenger light still a thing you can try instead?

Which ones have 1/4" jacks?
Some people just can't be pleased, lol
Would that be for a direct input from an instrument, say?

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

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.

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.
Yeah.. a headphone jack is nice for charging and listening at the same time, but I'll say it, the 10$ usb-c apple dongle does the job just fine and covers 99% of use cases. Plus it can also be used on devices with shitty DACs because the dongle is essentially one and it's pretty good as well

So glad the phone model I have is not only on the list but also a 4 star. Budget phones for the win!
