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’m still clinging on to my samsung s10e and hope to get another year or so out of it…after that I think I’m just gonna bite the bullet and get a dongle dac.
My S10e battery started to bloat so ive swapped to the zenphone 9 in the last week and a half, as long as you dont need wireless charging and get over the initial bumps moving away from samsung’s android tweaks its a great phone.
I recently upgraded from an S10e finally too, and had to make the decision between keeping the hardware features I wanted or the software features I wanted. Unfortunately I caved and went for the S23 to keep all the Samsung OneUI extra software stuff that I kinda can’t live without in my day to day usage. I hate not having a jack or microSD but realistically, I almost never plug in headphones anymore so a dongle is…fine, and no microSD definitely hurts but ultimately I was eventually going to run out of space for my endless pictures and videos (mostly of my cat lol) even on microSD cards so this is just forcing me to start managing that (as in, offloading to a desktop PC and backup drive) sooner rather than later.
I like to fall asleep listening to podcasts, so sadly I need something that can play and charge at the same time.
I did have a Pixel 2 XL back in the day, and perhaps the situation has improved, but bakc then the dongles were incredibly unreliable…
I do the same. After switching to a headphone-jack-free phone, I got a Bluetooth headband with speakers in it that’s specially made for sleeping. The sound quality is pretty poor, but I’m only using it for podcasts and it’s fairly comfortable (more comfortable than earphones for me).
