Best Phones With a Headphone Jack in 2022

[@majkapiotr]

I am very strong on the "no jack, no buy" side. Replacable batteries would be nice too.

[@RandoTechInfo]

That would be amazing.

[@zintravels]

thats why i'm watching this video, i refuse to buy a cell phone that doesnt have a headphone jack to use

[@_MANASYt]

I'm still on the LG V60, best sound ever... But it's getting slow and laggy 😬

[@incognito5109]

I went back to my note 3 😋

[@-Muhammad_Ali-]

Having been a Note 4 user until last month I totally agree

[@shyhrk]

I still annoyed, why they have to remove it, but kinda convinced that they do it to force people to buy their expensive, worse sounding wireless bluetooth devices. 3.5mm plug are cheap, cost pennies to add probably, so I really having trouble understanding people who defend manufacturers getting rid of 3.5mm jack from their phones. I mean, if they want wireless, even phones with 3.5mm jack have bluetooth capability too... I feel the removal is very hostile action for wired earphone/headset users.

[@RandoTechInfo]

I don't think anyone would argue the jack's removal isn't a money grab. Bluetooth earbuds are a big industry right now. Personally I like being wireless but I agree OEMs could keep the jack and give people the option.

[@cashflowz4010]

My $19 wired headphone sounds way better and louder than my Bluetooth headphones 😂

[@cashflowz4010]

Most phones with headphone jack has Bluetooth

Eliminating headphone jack is annoying. But eliminating the dual SIM is unbearable!

[@RandoTechInfo]

Don't forget about expandable storage.

@@RandoTechInfo And/or manufacturers THAT can take advantage of the tech we have today and double check one of the SIM as expandable storage if you aren't willing to use a Second SIM. Champ moves. :')

i'd rather loose the dual sim lol

I will gladly die of old age without a phone if they remove the jack from all. Thank god some companies still have some sense, no regrets with my motorola.

[@voice_of_terra7228]

Motorola is the hidden gem really. No-nonsense phones without all the annoying parts of other cheaper brands.

[@DefKiller90]

Same here we only use Bluetooth unless it's a Bluetooth speaker we love our headphone jack especially we use wired earphones or have aux input in our car if our Bluetooth headphones battery dies we have to use our wired earphones

[@DefKiller90]

[@notme8232]

A phone with no headphone jack is unacceptable for me. If I got one from Mr. Beast, it would be on eBay within a week.

[@MrDannyloco]

I like plugging my headphones to my phones and then to my pc and then to my nintendo switch instantly, im not about to spend 5 minutes on each one trying to pair them up everytime

[@rinkashi101]

Here's a fact: Galaxy S5 had: 1) Headphone jack 2) Expandable memory 3) Infrared port 4) Removable battery 5) All packed under dust and waterproof housing 6) Adapter, cable and headphones were included in the box So what the hell happened?

[@rollinggeez3043]

Agree best phone

[@FirstLast-jm4dx]

Samsung needs to make an actual "FE" that includes all those dropped features from their former flagship phones.

[@samankucher5117]

i love the fact that Jacks are still a thing.

[@willdatsun]

i do not wish to become a zombie wiht those white plastic blobs dripping out of my ears , i want to plug in real headphones... oh yeah and not microwave my brain either.

[@RandoTechInfo]

Haven't you heard? Microwaved brains are all the rage.

[@KowalDWR]

No hdp jack makes my middle finger twitch a bit. Not to mention lack of expansion slot.

[@samuelj2475]

I tried Sony because they also had expandable storage. Unfortunately, it's constant heating and malfunction while heating made it unbearable. My s10e would heat up, but it would still function smoothly. Had to switch to the Zenfone 8 and I'm looking forward for its successor to come out in the USA.

[@RandoTechInfo]

Which model was it?

[@samuelj2475]

@@RandoTechInfo Sony Xperia 5 III.

[@𠀠]

[@samuelj2475]

[@irishmugenite3503]

Sony have been like this for years with overheating issues. I remember my M4 constantly dying from over heating, when I moved to the L1, it was an improvement but still getting too hot for my liking. I finally jumped ship to Google and its been the best choice. I really hope Sony fix this issue, I do miss it.

[@nikehusk3849]

Not only a headphone jack but a sturdy one that could withstand numerous plug-ins and pull-outs.

[@RandoTechInfo]

Always preferred.

[@neutronenstern.]

arent they all pretty sturdy? (if they dont work,there is probably only have a pair of trousers inside them. Just remove it with a paper clip.)

[@shankar4330]

I like the convenience of TWS but i am not ok with having to charge yet another device and the eventual possibility of having to dispose it because battery has gone bad. 3mmm jack is the only reason why i am still clinging on to samsung s9. 3.5mm jack for life.

[@josephmcintyre752]

bring back tf cards, & headphone jacks

[@zeliph]

I don't think it's a deal breaker if it doesn't have a headphone jack, since I could always use a converter or USB C headphones. They're pretty cheap now a days. However the lack of a micro SD expansion on premium phones is unfortunate. Like what's the point of having ultra high end cameras, if the storage capacity is limited? I take tons of photos/vids of my pigeon and vacations, I'm already at half capacity from my 256gb OnePlus 8 Pro.

[@RandoTechInfo]

It's kind of strange too. While I don't like the headphone jack going away I at least understand why it is. Companies want to sell you their wireless headphones. It makes sense that companies like Apple and Google don't offer expandable storage because they want you to pay for their cloud storage services, but other companies, like OnePlus, don't offer those services so I don't see how they benefit. Thanks for watching.

[@yeejay6396]

You best bet is to buy an external drive, they're fairly cheap because they're just HDDs inside of a chassis, or high capacity thumb drive, also not that expensive, to back up every so often. Also, OK the topic of Headphone Jack's, phones like our shared 1+8P, still have poor USB and headphone in support with pass through charging capabilities. This is when the benefit of the headset jack can come in handy. You can still play your music while not having to deal with taking up the charging port because your greedy phone company still for some odd reason doesn't want to support the pass through feature. (I came from a Nexus 6P almost 3 years ago, I wanted USB C audio out, these were still the early days for the T-C Jack, yet now I have the 1+8 Pro and have to deal with not having Audio/charging pass through in a modern smartphone... I think you can understand my disappointment here.)

[@zeliph]

@@yeejay6396 Yeah I have a external HDD for my backups, but it's kind of a hassle to transfer stuff. Plus I like to share my photos to people without having to wait for the congested Mint Mobile internet to kick in. At least it's faster to load through a micro SD from my experience with the S9+.

[@moriel01]

*_I still love my headphone jack. It's not that I'm going to use it everyday but at least it's there when I need it without looking for a converter dongle._*

[@ninjanerdstudent6937]

Headphone jack is on the endangered species list. I’m kind of rooting for climate change to end the world.

[@RandoTechInfo]

I'm also sorry to see the jack go but I think that might be a slight overreaction.

You always have some good info for us man! Nice video about the barely extinct headphone jack! THAT T-SHIRT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@RandoTechInfo]

Thanks! Just got the shirt for my birthday. I like it.

[@AlsHomestead]

Even though I have my pair of Galaxy Buds+, I still wish my S21 had a jack. I had to buy another $80 dollar microphone from Rode made for the USB port because my last microphone from them was fitted with a connection for 3.5 millimeter jack. It didn't matter when I got it, because my A30 had a jack.

[@RandoTechInfo]

I feel your pain. Sometimes with phone I feel like the more you pay, the less you get. Btw, the Buds Plus are still amazing.

[@JennylaBelle]

HI Al, do you still recommend the A30? I was going to get the A33 until I found out it doesn't have a head phone jack

[@AlsHomestead]

@@JennylaBelle yes and no. If it was new and you could get it for a steeply discounted price, I would definitely look into it. Otherwise, my battery is now worn down and the A30 doesn't even run the latest version of Android so that is a disadvantage as well. Great display though and the cameras are ok in good lighting. Otherwise though I would opt to put your money into something newer and possibly a brand besides Samsung if you really want a headphone jack. Otherwise, similar and newer options from Samsung that still have the jack are the A42 5G and the A23 5G.

[@jennybelleness]

Thanks for that @@AlsHomestead .. I'm happy to have a second hand phone if battery, performance, etc is good. I was happy with my Redmi Note 9 but it was stolen a few weeks ago 😔 & its not so available now. So many to choose from but it needs to be low budget as I didn't plan to need a new phone! Thanks for your help.. I'll check the others out

[@AlsHomestead]

@@jennybelleness that is unfortunate. Hopefully you can find a good option for you!

[@ninjanerdstudent6937]

Which of these also have microSD card options?

[@jackgreen05]

Moto G100 and Galaxy A52s have both options!

[@rollinggeez3043]

Don't get oppo it doesn't have micro SD card

[@UnchainedEruption]

I don't understand smartphone makers' priorities. 144 Hz OLED 4K Displays? Something so ridiculously overkill and unnecessary (and in fact will just drain battery life faster, making it very impractical on a phone)? Yes, absolutely. (Even my Gaming PC doesn't have high refresh rate monitor, and I wouldn't dream of OLED on the tv, but you put it in a phone? C'mon!) What about headphone jacks or expansion slots for additional storage, which are basic necessities and far cheaper to include? Nope, get rid of that.

[@RandoTechInfo]

Personally I even think 1440 displays are overkill, but my eyes are old. 😂 I think the priority for OEMs is $. It's a lot easier to sell Bluetooth earbuds to people when there is no jack.

[@nagaal2012]

Can you please tell us the shops in US where we can see all those phones?. Thank you!

[@yeejay6396]

Unless Carriers provide them as alternatives, youll need to shop for them online.

[@Grammy_Dickles]

I love my zenfone 9, because of it I can use my nice wired headphones on the go and not have to rely on my tablet or my old iphones abysmal battery life

[@SauvikRoy]

The full phone housing has a huge battery, enough room on the motherboard for any high quality dac, amplifier: how does it translate to wireless, wait it can't! I am strongly in favour of smaller phones with good enough cameras, water resistance, headphone jack with dedicated dac and simple stock android and standby for 2days. How hard is it to ask of phone companies? Not all of us need external cooling on a phone or huge protruding camera bump.

[@RandoTechInfo]

It seems these days choice is not always on our side.
