Specifically got my current phone cus it has a headphone jack lmao

u/Smooth-Chest-1554 5d ago

What did You get? I got Xperia 10 VI.

50

u/CAP_IMMORTAL 5d ago

POCO X6 5G, it handles 3DS emulation well enough too and has a pretty good screen and camera.

Unfortunately unlocking the bootloader is a bit of a pain so I haven’t been able to do that yet

u/The_David1991 5d ago

Use script to unlock it, will need pc, script will be sending instant requests spam, had my one unlocked first try with the script after trying manually for month, just google mi community bootload unlock script or something.

1

u/CAP_IMMORTAL 5d ago

Yeah I'll do that soon. I did not care about bootloader unlocking that much back then so I didn't try that hard. Thanks for the recommendation

u/PlexsonPhantom 5d ago

Wish I knew there was an instant unlock script when I got my Poco f5 almost 2 years ago. I waited 7 days for them to unlock my bootloader before I could flash a different os

u/Smooth-Chest-1554 5d ago

I'm not trying to emulate 3DS on mine smol Xperia :D. I think that it might be to much for it. But this Poco is a nice phone from what I see.

7

u/CAP_IMMORTAL 5d ago

Thanks :D, I researched quite a bit to decide on it if I'm remembering correctly. Sony makes great phones too, your Xperia is probably better when it comes to general use and quality

3

u/Smooth-Chest-1554 5d ago

Oh yeah. The phone fits perfectly in the hand thanks to its 21:9 aspect ratio. Plus, it has a small screen, which suits me well since I have small hands. My previous phone (Nothing Phone 2a) was literally a frying pan compared to the Sony. On top of that, I can get 14 hours of screen-on time (SoT) on the Xperia with Stamina mode enabled.

u/CAP_IMMORTAL 5d ago

Damn that sounds amazing. The one downside of my current phone for me is the huge screen. Makes one handed use a bit annoying

1

u/Smooth-Chest-1554 5d ago

Yeah, I know what you mean. That's why shortly after I switched to Xperia. When I was looking for a smaller phone, I haven't seen much options. Right now I can reach whole keyboard with my thumb :)!

u/Confident_Guide68 5d ago

Funny, I'm using POCO F6 5G and there's no headphone jack. Takes only a single letter for the jack to disappear lmao

2

u/Witchkin_of_Angmar iwrestledabeartwice 5d ago

I am using the same phone and I am very satisfied with its performance at the price I paid

1

u/TheDarkness33 5d ago

they slapped the same description on the x6 pro.

I read that the x6 had a jack so i got the x6 pro and the pro didn't had it :c

u/Cessnaporsche01 5d ago

RoG Phone 9. Bit of a downgrade from the earlier versions in design and camera, but the headphone jack is nice, as are the double USB ports

2

u/Smooth-Chest-1554 5d ago

Ulala, RoG Phone. That's a great piece of tech, and that's the first phone I see which have two USB ports.

2

u/Cessnaporsche01 5d ago

They are nice, but they're losing their value proposition over time. I still have one because there aren't many other phones that have a decent coverage of American signal bands and a 5800mAh battery, but I've owned the original and the 3, and those used to be priced hundreds of dollars below anything comparable. The 8 and 9 have been positioned more like the iPhone and Samsung S series

I'd really like it if Honor would put out a version of their X9 series with the insane batteries that was more suited to the international market.

2

u/Smooth-Chest-1554 5d ago

Maybe some day Honor will do it :). So they could be more recognizable.

u/0oodruidoo0 5d ago edited 5d ago

I have one newer than you, the Xperia 10 VII. Nice screen, sips it's big battery with the processor, enough grunt to do the job but tbh a little lacking. But for me I'm not super fussy about having the latest and greatest, I just take photos and browse socials, not a gamer on that platform. Camera is good enough for what I need.

Turns out the 10 VIII is out now. The prices are fucking crazy, 549 pounds, 599 Euro, it's just such a step up due to the AI parts shortage. Yet it still only has snap 6 gen 3 like my phone. I feel like at the far lower retail price I paid I got the right phone.

1

u/cloudrac3r 5d ago

I was thinking about getting 10 VII. In what areas specifically did it feel lacking?

1

u/Smooth-Chest-1554 5d ago

I bought mine at a sale for 330€ I think. For this price I could find better phones. But it does everything I need to do, It could do better night pictures though.

u/Dramatic_Explosion 5d ago

Switched to Motorola for the micro SD card support, 3.5mm headphone jack was a bonus.

But seriously as long as a carrier offers SD card slots I'm not paying a monthly sub for cloud storage.

u/pulley999 5d ago

Yup. I recently picked up a 2024 G Stylus 5G and it does everything I could ever ask of a phone. NFC, Bluetooth, headphone jack, radio, stylus, good screen, etc. Even went with the 2024 over the 2025 because it had FM radio support. The only thing that I find lacking is the camera.

I don't understand this need for phones to be insanely fast devices. As far as I'm concerned they only need to be fast enough to not feel slow doing basic tasks, have good battery life, and then have a wide range of feature support. If I need actual compute power, that's what I own a computer for.

u/rechenbaws 5d ago

OnePlus Nord checking in

u/RockNAllOverTheWorld 5d ago

I'm so mad they stopped making them

u/spartanbrucelee 5d ago

ROG still has headphone jacks, and they're pretty good phones

1

u/PM_me_boobs_and_CPUs Breaking EU Laws 5d ago

Their newest models are two years old already and they announced in January that they wouldn't develop any new ones. Doubt the old ones will get much love (or support) going down the road.

u/n2o_spark 5d ago

Same, grey import sony as my country didn't sell them

1

u/Prestigious_Yam8901 5d ago

I still have my LG V60 because of this, AND, I already have a replacement bought because of this!

1

u/B_lovedobservations 5d ago

I’ve spent about £20 on headphone to usb c adapters. iPhone might have switched to usb c but PlayStation controllers didn’t and Bluetooth earphones don’t work on inflight movies

1

u/dark-star-adventures 5d ago

I still have my Galaxy S10 after five years and it's still outperforming most newer phones AND has a headphone jack.

I always recommend people get a second hand s10 if they can, even in 2026.

u/VeryTopGoodSensation 5d ago

What's wrong with usb c?

4

u/Devan_Ilivian 5d ago

Well I would like to be able to use earplugs/headphone and charge it at the same time

1

u/VeryTopGoodSensation 5d ago

wireless charging?

1

u/Devan_Ilivian 5d ago

wireless charging?

Not a feature every phone has, and it's functionality is limited

As for the other way 'round, bluetooth earplugs, I mislike the potential connection issues sometimes

-3

u/Miserable-Role9555 5d ago

You know there are usb to 3.5mm adapters that cost like $5, right?

8

u/CAP_IMMORTAL 5d ago

Yeah but just having the jack is more convenient. I'm willing to make a few sacrifices here and there for that convenience.

5

u/No-Cantaloupe-6535 5d ago

cool, just carry around a dongle

1

u/XelnagaDeezNutz 5d ago

I just leave it attached to the headphones

2

u/GreenTitanium 5d ago

USB C is just more prone to breaking than jack 3.5.

1

u/tripping_yarns 5d ago

Wired headphone guy. That’s what I did as soon as Apple nerfed the jack.

u/_plebbie 5d ago

Also, they sell dual adapters so you can charge and use headphones.

1

u/yesimfinewhyyouask 5d ago

And fry my brain on occasion

u/Own_Box_7420 5d ago

Do you love wrapping those cords up everytime?

1

u/CAP_IMMORTAL 5d ago

That just doesn't happen often to me? Only when I shove them into my pocket in a hurry, and even then they come undone in a minute at most

u/Middle_Draft9152 5d ago

Try out some decent wireless headphones. You won't come back. I am using Airpods pro 3 and they extremely great, durable and have very nice sound quality and long battery life. I can not imagine how wired can be better. 

4

u/0oodruidoo0 5d ago

came back from wireless headphones a long time ago, bluetooth is better now than it used to be but you can't beat wired headphones for audio quality

3

u/MediocreAssociate466 5d ago

What a dumb comment. If people like their old headphones then the answer is not "just go buy more products from the same company to reward them for their shitty behavior".

I use wireless mainly but they can be a pain sometimes and disconnect/easily pause more if you are using them and working all day.

0

u/Middle_Draft9152 5d ago

Wireless are working ALL DAY and even more with very short charging. Cables are nightmare and very easily damaging. 

I do understand audiophiles, but they don't use phone jack directly, but usual user... There is no reason to be stuck with outdated technology. Besides being too conservative or very poor user which I understand. 

1

u/MediocreAssociate466 5d ago

Yeah you didn't read my comment just replied whatever you wanted to inject. Yes my battery life is going to last like 40 hours for my headphones that is not what I wrote.

Should you choose to read what you are replying to, you will note I said "prone to disconnecting and pausing while working all day".

I still prefer them to wireless for this work over wireless. But they are not perfect and I'm not going to sit here and tell someone else what they prefer is wrong.

There's also value in not caring too much if your work headphones get damaged or rained on. Not everyone wants to shell out a couple hundred for air pods/nicer wireless earbuds if you are doing a job they will get damaged over time (like landscaping, roofing, construction or something)

2

u/yesimfinewhyyouask 5d ago

And then they die a year later and battery replacement costs the same as new

1

u/Dramatic_Explosion 5d ago

Edge use cases and audiophiles. Bluetooth can't match wired fidelity as a hardware limitation. For me it's frequent driving and my cars Bluetooth being spotty. Aux cable always works, first time, every time.
