Phones with headphone jacks haven’t disappeared from the scene but they are slowly being replaced by the latest gadgets by giants like Apple who want us to go wireless. We can’t say we don’t enjoy going wireless; who doesn’t like to watch Cox basic cable on their phone with wireless headphones on!
There are some among us who are audiophiles. If that’s you and you don’t find Bluetooth headphones much convenient, or have lost your earbuds or earphones plenty of times, you must be searching for a good phone with headphone jacks.
Fortunately, there are still so many modern phones out there featuring a headphone jack so you are not completely out of options. Let’s check these out:
1: Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus
Samsung is the only manufacturer that held onto the headphone jack for its high-end smartphones longer than most. Sadly, the streak ended with the S20 series.
But you can still get some notable features and a headphone jack with Galaxy S10 Plus. It was the best 2019 phone and the highlight of the company when launched. The 6.4-inch display can displace the front camera while the triple-lens rear camera lets you capture ultra-wide photos.
It was expensive back when it was launched, but now, you can get lots of discounts on it. S10+ is perfect if you want a stylish phone. Another notable feature of this phone was the fingerprint sensor which takes a 3D scan. It was more accurate than that of Huawei phones but was slower and required more pressure.
2: Google Pixel 4a
This smartphone isn’t a powerhouse of features but it comes with modest specs. You would like it because it’s one of the best-featured phones with a headphone jack on this list. Plus, it’s budget-friendly.
If a top-notch camera is a priority, you won’t be disappointed. Featuring a 12.2 MP back camera and 8 MP front camera, you can expect wonderful photography.
Its 5G version is out too (Pixel 4a) adding $150 to the price of the flagship version. 4a comes with a larger display and a bigger battery. Plus, it boasts two rear cameras so paying a little extra doesn’t hurt much.
3: LG V60
Since you are into phones with headphone jacks, audio quality must be of great value for you. In that case, LG V60 deserves your attention.
This model is yet another example of LG’s commitment to superior audio quality. The phone features a DAC for supporting the 3.5mm jack and delivers high-end audio. This device has four mics for recording crystal clear sounds. The audio can be zoomed along with the lens while shooting videos. Amazing, right!
This huge phone has unbeatable battery life. It is the 3rd phone from LG with an optional 2nd display which can transform this phone into a foldable device. It may be a large phone but it weighs 6 grams less than the S20 Ultra. V60’s camera relies on digital zooming in its main sensor, which is capable of capturing 64MP images.
4: Sony Xperia 1 II
Keeping the headphone jack aside, Xperia 1 II is true beauty when it comes to video capabilities. The phone features a trio of 12Mp cameras. Primary, telephoto as well as ultra-wide. You can shoot 4K videos from this phone at varying fps.
This is a premium phone which isn’t for everyone. It’s large and people call it a niche device. Previous Sony 4K phones had battery issues but not this one. Xperia 1 II is designed for those who have a higher screen time. It’s great for playing games and binge-watching. The huge size of the phone makes it impractical for everyday use.
The rear of the phone is made of glass, which gives a premium look. The camera quality is punchy and gives a faithful picture of the subject. It’s capable of capturing 4K at sixty frames per second.
5: Moto G Power
This phone is packed with performance, features, and capabilities. In fact, you will get more than expected in almost every area including the headphone jack. Moto G phones are a solid bet for those on a budget.
This 7.3 ounces phone is chunky but manageable. The manufacturers have done a great job when it comes to weight distribution. It’s easy to hold especially for binge-watching endeavors.
Moto 5 G Power is not that great when it comes to resolution. The display is dim and a bit reflective. Moving on to the headphone jack, it’s located on top of the phone and there is a USB-C charging port right next to it. The speakers on the other hand are placed at the bottom. It’s not the best phone on the list but is ideal for budget shoppers.
