What are the best phones with headphone jacks?

applejacks@lemmy.world to Android@lemmy.world – 43 points –

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!

As a phone repair tech, Samsung phones are some of the easiest to repair. Especially for batteries or (if you can get Samsung OEM parts) screens.

I highly recommend you take a look at installing the new battery yourself if you're able to be precise with a screwdriver. All it takes is the aforementioned screwdriver, a hair dryer/heat gun, and an old credit card.

The only parts you'll have to buy are the battery and the water resistant seal for the back glass.

Bad thing is the waterproofing goes out the window after you crack it open, so you gotta be careful from then on.

How would you rate an S8 in terms of difficulty of repair, regarding screen and battery? I use one and might need to replace these parts, but I am not exactly confident that I'll not break the phone and can't afford a new one right now.

Ofc, just in case you've had experience with the S8.

Samsung have some of the best handsets in the market hands down, but pixel isn't too bad either

I'd agree to that. I've been a pixel user for a few years now, the only reason I chose them over Samsung is that I don't like Samsung's software preload.

Eh.....Galaxy S5 is a bitch to repair. Specifically for the display.
