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

A15 + 5g both have a headphone jack and can be unlocked apparently. Probably the A25 versions too.

Useful advice

Edit: it appears that this is only accurate for the models not sold in North America

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

Look into the Xperia 10 VI, their mid-range. It's not in this list, but it does have a headphone jack.

I got my daughter one of these, she loves it, but I think its a bit large

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

Back in the day the motorazr was a 1:1 for the analogy haha

I love the aspect ratio of Sony phones, It actually allows me to use it completely with one Hand, normal phones are just a bit too wide to do so comfortably.

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.

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.
