At least for the next few years, I am pretty firm on needing a jack on my device.

I am currently using an LG v60, and while nice, it’s starting to show its age.

Any suggestions on where to go next?

I was looking at the ROG phone, and while it does seem very nice, I feel like it is a bit much as I don’t game on my device at all.

Are there any good phones I should be looking at?

Thanks!

    Depends on your budget and location.

    Unlimited budget: Sony Xperia 1 V ($1400). Has almost anything you’d want. SD8G2, MicroSD slot, etc.

    High budget: Asus Zenfone 9 ($700). Great compact phone with a headphone jack. Alternatively wait for the Zenfone 10 to come out as it’s coming out this week.

    Or even the Xperia 5 V ($1000), a slightly downgraded version of the 1 V.

    Lower budget: Sony Xperia 10 V ($450). Expensive for the specs but you get outstanding battery life, 25-50% more than any other phone on this list. And it’s the only budget phone with a telephoto lens.

    USA pick: Moto G Stylus 5G (2022). Can be picked up for $250 on Amazon and has excellent all-around specs for the price.

    Europe/Asia picks: Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 Pro+ ($350) if you want good cameras for the price. However the chipset might struggle with MIUI from time to time.

    Xiaomi Poco X5 pro ($300). Good all-arounder at this price.

    Xiaomi Poco F5 ($400). Best chipset out of all of these budget phones, at nearly flagship levels.

      The Zenphone 10 is launching in 3 days, it is also rumored to have a headphone jack like the previous Zenphone 9!

        All I want in this whole world is a Zenphone 10 on Verizon. If literally any other carrier worked at my house (rural dead zone) I’d jump ship in a heartbeat.

      Moto G Stylus 5G (2022) has a terrible name but is actually a really great phone.

      People complain about the camera a lot but I believe that’s really just a software issue as it works great with Gcam.

      There is now a 2023 version as well but there’s been some really good deals on the 2022 (like from Metro by T-Mobile where you could get a free one with a new line and one month of service).
