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!

My Samsung Galaxy A14 has a headphone jack. Not a top-end phone, but does what I need it to

A few days ago there was talk about the Asus Zenfone 10, maybe it's worth taking a look at.

Nokia XR21. Waterproof, drop proof, 4 years of updates, programmable physical buttons.

I have its predecessor and it is a fabulous device.

Low end of the price range is Alcatel, mid shelf prob Pixel or Zen, top shelf is Samsung.

It may be on the older side, but I've been using my Pixel 4A for three years or so, no complaints. I also use the headphone whenever possible. Also using GrapheneOS.

You may want to check out the Pixel 5A (also has a headphone jack if I'm not mistaken) for a bit of a newer phone, but the one I got used seems to have a band issue in which it would forcefully shut down after some time with my SIM card.

my pixel 4a is still kicking it

I do need to back it up and factory reboot tho, I think that might help some of the typing issues that have come up recently.

The pixel 5a has some reliability issues it's predassessors did not. It is an extremely fragile device.

What do you need from the minijack port? Easy access or great audio?

I have a set of 18 year old Shure SE530 headphones that I still use. I simply bought an external bluetooth adapter for them. I would challenge anyone to do a double blind test with them bluetooth vs. hardwired.

LG v50 is my favourite. I selling one on e bay, EU only. It's totally like new.

Can you explain more?

I have an iPhone which has a lightning connector - if I want to hook it up to the computer, I can either connect Bluetooth, or I can plug in a 3.5mm aux connector to the lightning port... which would also allow me to connect my old Sennheiser headphones.

However, for listening to podcasts at bedtime, I generally just use the computer which usually goes to sleep at bedtime - but I could adjust that.
