(Posting this here rather than [email protected] as it’s a quite general question)

I had a look at the GSM Arena phone finder, and it the choice is getting smaller and smaller every year (only 43 phones from 2023, reviewed by the site, had a jack)

The remaining ones are mostly

  • Xiaomi Redmi
  • Zenfones
  • Sony
  • Samsung entry range

So, has everyone switched to Bluetooth / USB-C dongles, or are there still a few people holding to the jack until the very end?

    I bought the Zenfone 9, but now the new Zenfones don’t have headphone jacks, so I don’t know what phone to buy when I end up needing a new one. There seems to be no phones with headphone jacks that aren’t huge, except for the budget phones

        Huh, I thought they didn’t. Maybe I’m confusing it with the Google Pixels, I switched away from them because they don’t have headphone jacks anymore. I feel like there was something about the new Zenfones that I didn’t like, idk

          Yeah, pixels dropped the headphone jack. I’m kinda looking for a new phone. But can’t find any with all the features my Galaxy s10+ has. Zenfones come close.

          On the zenfone 11 the headphone jack is even at the bottom. It’s missing the SD card reader.
