What are the best phones with headphone jacks?
3 years ago by applejacks to c/android
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!
As a phone repair tech, Samsung phones are some of the easiest to repair. Especially for batteries or (if you can get Samsung OEM parts) screens.
I highly recommend you take a look at installing the new battery yourself if you're able to be precise with a screwdriver. All it takes is the aforementioned screwdriver, a hair dryer/heat gun, and an old credit card.
The only parts you'll have to buy are the battery and the water resistant seal for the back glass.
Bad thing is the waterproofing goes out the window after you crack it open, so you gotta be careful from then on.
Samsung have some of the best handsets in the market hands down, but pixel isn't too bad either
I love it because I have a great dock for it. I just set my phone down on it and it charges.
I have usb-c chargers scattered around the house so that I can charge whatever I have (phone, iPad, Switch) wherever I am. Prefer a single standard, whatever it is.
I think the idea of reverse wireless charging is cool as hell, but only if you have wireless buds or a smartwatch to take advantage of it.
The heat, energy loss, and extra time to use wireless charging is not worth it to use full time imo. You also cannot use your device nearly as much on a wireless charger vs a long cable.
But when it's integrated into bar tops, tables, etc., to charge your phone while at a restaurant or something, that's extremely convenient.
It feels very situational to me.
I keep my S10 in a waterproof case with port covers, so it's actually pretty handy to just throw it on the charger.
Less opening and closing the waterproof port covers makes me feel like they stay sealed better as well

Still rocking my S10 that I believe is the best phone made.
Wireless charging, wireless power sharing, good waterproof rating, headphone port etc.
Holding onto this thing as long as possible. Might price out a battery replacement.. 💪
