It's becoming super difficult now to be honest. I think I'm about to bite the bullet this weekend and just get a usb-c to 3.5mm adapter although it pains me deeply.
What phone do you use??? I'm looking at the S23 at the moment but I'm still on an S8 lol
I'm on a Sony Xperia 10 IV now. Amazing battery life, decent for one-handed use, has a headphone jack, SD slot, and meh camera. Mostly solid overall- agree the situation's getting worse and worse every year
I remember switching to Android because you could replace the battery and expand storage, and those were huge selling points. But now my phone has none of those things. Although I guess a lot of stuff is in the cloud.
No question, removing swappable batteries was pretty brazenly consumer-hostile.
One of the main reasons I'm 100% on board with stuff like the Pinephone, at least in theory (just wish Linux phones were actually ready to be used as phones.. maybe in another couple of years).
I know it had its issues but I was pretty sad that the LG G5 sort of compromise where you got the removable battery while still not "looking cheap" never really went anyway.
Xiaomi Redmi10. Cheap and has a 3.5mm.
