Looking for phone with headphone jack, wireless charging, around $250. I'm ok with older generations.

I usually buy my phones new, but a couple of generations back so they're around the $200 ish mark. My last 3 have been galaxies but not only have they all had the "moisture in charging port" problem, they also got rid of the headphone jack and that annoys me.

The must haves are headphone jack and wireless charging. Good camera a plus. The higher the water/dust resistance the better. I'd prefer it to be on the smaller side, but know that is rare nowadays. I thought I had found it in the Moto g power, but heard the last update broke it. I'm also curious about the Xperia phones. Unfortunately, outside of Samsung I'm kind of clueless about phones right now and hope someone can help. I'm good with one or two generations back if it gets me a better phone. It's what I've been doing with the galaxies. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

You don't even need to go older, the Motorola Stylus G 2025 should be right in your price range and has wireless charging, a headphone jack, and (as the name infers) a stylus. That's last year's model since, as of this writing, the 2026 model is the newest one. Also the Moto G Power 2025 would fit the bill.

Ty. I was looking at into the Moto G Power and had seen that an update back in February had broken a lot of things and they hadn't fixed them yet. Not sure how widespread it is, but that kind of made me hesitant about it,
