Best phones with a headphone jack: Google Pixel, Samsung Galaxy, LG and more
Removing the headphone jack could rationally be seen as the natural progression towards a wireless future, but many of us may not be ready for that future just yet. Thankfully, as of 2020, the headphone jack still lives on, at least on a few of the flagships and most of the mid-range smartphones out there.In this article we’ll take a look at some of the best phones available to still feature a headphone jack, on top of being great all-around devices to get.
Best smartphones with a headphone jack on this list:
- Google Pixel 3a / XL
- Samsung Galaxy S10
- LG G8X ThinQ
- Asus Zenfone 6
Google Pixel 3a / XL
Google’s mid-range Pixel 3a offers exceptional camera performance that easily rivals even the flagships out there. It boasts a 5.6-inch OLED screen and a 12.2MP main camera. Inside, it’s powered by the Snapdragon 670 chipset and 4GB of RAM, with its 3,000mAh battery lasting well over 10 hours of screen-on time.
Samsung Galaxy S10 / Plus
Unlike the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite, the S10 still has the beloved headphone jack on board, despite being an impressively thin and light flagship, powered by either the Snapdragon 855 or Samsung’s Exynos 9820 processor and 8GB of RAM.
LG G8X ThinQ
Perhaps the most interesting smartphone on the list due to its dual screen case support, which can turn it into a multitasking or gaming beast of a device, the G8X ThinQ also sports a handy 3.5mm headphone jack.
Asus Zenfone 6
Like the Xiaomi above, the Asus ZenFone 6 packs a beefy battery at 5000mAh, with an uninterrupted 6.4-inch IPS display.
It features a clever back camera module that can flip around and also take selfies, with its main sensor shooting at 48 megapixels. On the inside the specs are flagship, with its Snapdragon 855 processor and 8GB of RAM.
Does your smartphone have a headphone jack, and do you need it, or do you think it’s time to let it go and move on?
