A few days ago there was talk about the Asus Zenfone 10, maybe it's worth taking a look at.

After years with Samsung I jumped ship a year ago and got the Xperia 1 IV. Been pretty happy with it since. Feel pretty good in hand and has both SD card and headphone jack, camera is half decent though it does take some getting used to.
I own both of these:
- Pixel 5a 5G (although updates end in 1 year)
- Asus Zenfone 9
They're both good!
I’ve got calyx os on the pixel 4a, calyx will indefinitely release os updates, no need to worry about it
Don't you still get security updates? I have a pixel 4a and still get updates
Bullshit it's even legal for them to end support so fast, just more things to throw in the garbage and kill the earth. My pixel 4a is working completely fine still and I am an avid user
I have a Zenfone 8 and absolutely love it. I think the 9 still has a headphone jack, too. It's small, and I have small hands, so it's perfect for me.
GSM Arena has a "phone finder" tool that allows you to lookup phones with specific features. There are over 500 phones released in 2022 to present with a headphone jack. You can narrow that down a lot if you only look at phones with IPX8 water resistance.
Some options:
- Sony Xperia 1 V (expensive)
- Sony Xperia 10 V
- Asus Zenfone 9
- Samsung Galaxy Xcover6 Pro
- Nokia XR21
I have tried that in the past, but I always found that I either got 150 results that were mostly Chinese junk phones or 3 results that were incredibly underpowered low range devices.
I will check it out again.

My zenfone 8 is solid, but has high treble when listening on max on my headphone and Planar IEM. I would not necesserily recommend builtin jacks. If you can choose a lot cheaper device for lack of a jack, you can get a fucking great bluetooth adapter and a very good IEM from the difference.
Apart from that, I recommend Gigaset/Volla and Fairphone since they are servicable and have removable batteries.
Nokia's X series 🔥
LG v50 is my favourite. I selling one on e bay, EU only. It's totally like new.
It may be on the older side, but I've been using my Pixel 4A for three years or so, no complaints. I also use the headphone whenever possible. Also using GrapheneOS.
You may want to check out the Pixel 5A (also has a headphone jack if I'm not mistaken) for a bit of a newer phone, but the one I got used seems to have a band issue in which it would forcefully shut down after some time with my SIM card.
my pixel 4a is still kicking it
I do need to back it up and factory reboot tho, I think that might help some of the typing issues that have come up recently.

I have a set of 18 year old Shure SE530 headphones that I still use. I simply bought an external bluetooth adapter for them. I would challenge anyone to do a double blind test with them bluetooth vs. hardwired.

They make USB-C to headphone adapters that also have a USB-C for charging in case you need both art the same time. I hated losing my headphone jack, but the adapters work.

Can you explain more?
I have an iPhone which has a lightning connector - if I want to hook it up to the computer, I can either connect Bluetooth, or I can plug in a 3.5mm aux connector to the lightning port... which would also allow me to connect my old Sennheiser headphones.
However, for listening to podcasts at bedtime, I generally just use the computer which usually goes to sleep at bedtime - but I could adjust that.
