At least for the next few years, I am pretty firm on needing a jack on my device.

I am currently using an LG v60, and while nice, it’s starting to show its age.

Any suggestions on where to go next?

I was looking at the ROG phone, and while it does seem very nice, I feel like it is a bit much as I don’t game on my device at all.

Are there any good phones I should be looking at?

Thanks!

    I was using an LG V30 for the past few years. Needed to replace it as the battery wasn’t lasting anymore.

    Like you a headphone jack is a must. So I got a Sony Xperia 10iii because that’s all I could afford. I would ideally like the Xperia 5 but it’s way out of my budget.

    Still, the 10iii is a great phone and does everything I need it to. It’s fast, takes good photos, has a good display and size and great battery life.

    If you don’t want Sony the only other phone I’m aware of in the premium segment is Asus ZenFone 9 (the 10 is launching next month) which had rave reviews and was even phone of the year I think. It reminds me alot of my V30 in many ways.

    If your budget is low like mine, look at the Sony Xperia 10v which just launched. It has better speakers, cameras, OIS, and battery compared to mine.

    Or look at Samsung as they tend to have a headphone jack in the budget segment. A54 I think has good reviews.

      The Zenphone looks nice, but I really want the SD card slot :/

      Hackable? Able to install Lineage/custom android?

        Yes. The 10 series is the affordable line. I do wish they had something in the €500 range as well, say a 10 but with more powerful CPU just for those who don’t want a SD695.
