Pixel 4a here. Great phone, just in desperate need of a battery replacement. Checking ifixit the risk of breaking the display while opening the phone seems quite high :/
Yes, I spent years breaking the screen of this phone and eventually replacing it. I’ve finally got a screen protector and it’s been great… But the screen will almost certainly crack when you remove it. Bummer about the extra cost.
Samsung Galaxy Xcover 6pro has been pretty good for me. It has a headphone jack, SD card slot, and a removable battery. The specs aren’t the top of the line, but as long as I’m not playing games on my phone it gets the job done.
The Samsung Galaxy A15 5G has an audio jack and is somewhat recent. It’s a budget phone, though. The spec’s aren’t the best, but the price point is nice. If you wanted to listen to flac over wired headphones, that would work well.
Still my criterion when looking to buy a phone.
My phone still has an aux jack : humble brag:
It’s a pixel 3a from at least 6 years ago :opposite of a humble brag:
…I actually love the shape and function of this phone. I only wish it had security updates, and didn’t have Google.

isn’t that pixel really well supported by postmarketos?
What is a postmarketeo??
it’s a linux distribution for mobile devices, it’s not really production ready but still really fun to play around with
Any luck? Or have you been using a 10year old phone because the stupid phone manufacturers think following Apple is a good idea

Redmagic phones have very high specs and a jack
Sony Xperia is still going and has headphones jacks.
And an SD card slot, I absolutely love mine!
I genuinely can’t believe they took away the microsd slot from modern phones
I even pre bought a card before getting my new phone because I just assumed it’d have the slot. Should’ve done more research i guess
Gonna have to double check the next phone I buy has a screen first
I got an Asus zenfone 10 and it has one (and is also a small phone which is also hard to find now)

I accidentally got one. Woo!
Here’s your phone, sir.
“I ordered spaghetti”
Its on the house sir, my apologies
I think the last S series that had the jack was the s10 from 2020
Sony if that’s in your budget.
edit: or Motorola if it isn’t (check specific models, ymmv)
