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!

Best, as far as specs? Gonna be the Asus Zenfone 10 (officially announcing 6/29 but most of the specs have been leaked) and the Sony Xperia 1 V (already available outside the US).

Both will have Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and plenty of memory and storage. The lower models of Xperia (5 and 10) will also have headphone jacks but somewhat lesser specs.

FWIW the Xperia I V is very very similar to the I IV, it's predecessor. Sony's software support kinda sucks (only 2 years of Android updates, IIRC) but you can likely get a decent deal on last year's phone at this point.

If you're interested in custom ROMs or want something less Google-centric like GrapheneOS, you could also consider the Pixel 4a, 4a 5G, or 5a, depending on your size preferences. They're losing official support now or soon but they're still very good phones, very cheap refurbished, and GrapheneOS should be supporting them for a few more years just fine.

I considered posting about the previous gen Zenfone and Xperia, but the 8G1 gets hot and throttles frequently from what I've read.

Good point about the pixels. I put Graphene on my 5 and it runs nicely.

The 1 IV is known to have overheating issues with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. I'd recommend an Xperia 5 V instead.

I was under the impression that GrapheneOS support lasts only as long as the official support, for security reasons.
