Today we’re going to be talking about the best smartphones with a headphone jack for going into 2022. These are for my diehard headphone users that really need a dedicated headphone jack.
Number 1: LG V60
Coming at 300 bucks absolutely crazy for that price you’re getting a flagship phone and just a bunch of crazy specs so we get a really nice Bill quality on here aluminum frame class back IP 68 dust and water resistant phone just feels like a tank. We do have a headphone jack on here with a quiet deck as well. So if you have high quality pair of headphones, you can really get some awesome audio out of this phone. You also have really amazing sounding stereo speakers as well to great bass, good mids and highs extremely loud as well. It is a pretty big phone with a 6.8 inch p OLED display. It’s HDR 10 plus 1080 p 395.
For the PPI overall just a beautiful display but it doesn’t stop there you can actually for 100 bucks if you go on eBay, get a dual screen case attachment to this phone and turn it into two phones if you are a power user. Now the V60 does have Android 11 running the Snapdragon 865 and Adreno 650 It is on LDS update list as well to get Android 12.
So I’m going to be excited for that next year. Micro SD support 128 gigs of internal storage and eight gigs of RAM is on board with this guy. We also have NFC under the display fingerprint scanner which is fine too little. It’s not the fastest but it fine is works and you also have a triple camera setup a 64 megapixel standard 13 megapixel ultra wide and a point three depth sensor aka video with a 10 megapixel selfie cam that also shoots in 4k.
Overall you get some pretty nice quality photos to me still flagship level photos with EB 60 So I really do like the cameras on your still also video is pretty solid only be 60 as well. And you also get a really massive 5000 milliamp battery with excellent standby time and overall just really great battery life. In addition to that of course you get fast charging and wireless charging as well so the V60.
Number 2: Samsung Galaxy S10+
It’s really impressed me this year you can get this for around 300 Even and it does have a really nice design stuff to think this is a very classic design aluminum frame, glass bag IP six eight dust and water resistant, beautiful dynamic MLA display at 6.4 inches HDR 10 Plus it’s a full 1440 p display or 2k display 522 for the PPI overall just a really beautiful panel on here. It does have the double poncho which you can have a lot of fun with the wallpapers. This phone is upgradeable to android 11.
It also will be getting Android 12 as well. The Snapdragon 855 is on board with the adrenal 640 Gods this phone is still very powerful. So it doesn’t really matter what you’re doing on this phone, it’s still going to run very fast, it’s going to be able to play games and max settings. It is still very impressive. So I really do love the speed and performance on this phone. Micro SD support is on board 128 gigs and eight gigs of RAM on this model here. And like I said it’s stereo speakers on board with this guy with a headphone jack.
Now it’s not a quiet deck but the headphone jack is there so it’s just it feels like one of the most complete Samsung phones that they’ve released. Also the speaker setup is also pretty good, very loud, crisp and clear speakers tuned by AKG also this phone does have NFC it’s also got it under the display fingerprint sensor which works very fast. You do have pretty decent cameras a triple camera setup 12 megapixel standard 12 megapixel telephoto with a 16 megapixel ultra wide shooting 4k 60 along with that double dual camera setup 10 megapixel standard and then eight megapixel wide shoots in 4k 60 as well.
Overall you get some pretty decent shots with the S10 Plus definitely not complaining at this price point. You also have a pretty decent sized battery A 4100 milliamp battery 15 Watt charging with fast charging and reverse wireless charging as well which is really cool. Battery life is pretty good on the S 10 plus.
Number 3: Asus Zenfone 8
so this is a newer compact flagship phone it’ll cost you around 600 bucks. So it is a little bit expensive, I think around 650 I’ll have all the links down below. But I really like this phone this year. It’s got an aluminum frame and it has a glass bag it feels really solid IP 68 dust and water resistant as well.
It’s got a beautiful 5.9 inch super amyloid display at 120 hertz so you get that really smooth refresh rate It’s also very bright display coming in i 1100 nits peak brightness, you’d have a 1080 p display. And then it’s four to 46 for the PPI punch hole on the left hand side.
So overall, it was a very nice display money Android 11 with Zen UI with the Snapdragon triple eight processor in the Adreno 660. Pretty much a powerful phone when it comes to doing anything, whether you’re hardcourt multitasking, trying to game at max settings, there’s nothing that this phone won’t be able to do. So you’re getting top tier flagship level performance on here. There’s no SD card support 128 gigs of internal storage and eight gigs of RAM. This phone does have very amazing sounding stereo speakers as well. Excellent bass, especially for the size of this phone. It’s actually kind of shocking. Also you do of course get the headphone jack which was a really nice addition.
They did not have to do that but I’m really glad that they did. They do have NFC on this guy with the fingerprint scanner on the display. It is very fast, no issues there. Also a pretty good camera setup. I did not see the complaints with the cameras I think after software updates you really you know there’s no complaints I still think it takes great cameras for the price 64 megapixel standard 12 megapixel ultra wide, aka PDU at 24 frames which is crazy and then a 12 megapixel standard that shoots in 4k 30 overall image quality like I said was pretty good to me.
You also have a 4000 milliamp battery with 30 Watt charging and reverse charging so the battery life one here is really not that great. Which I was expecting but it does charge pretty fast with the 30 Watts but your battery life is like four hours and 30 minutes so it’s not that great. I think it has a lot to do with the high refresh rate and the battery being so small but it is what it is, but still nonetheless a great phone.
Number 4: ROG phone 5
This is an awesome gaming type of phone. So it comes in at a range of like 650 to 700 again on those links will be down below for premium design. It’s really decked out with the gamer design with the RGB lights with the pressure sensitive gaming triggers on here a beautiful 144 hertz amyloid display at 6.7 inches to 90 p 395. For the PPI that’s a beautiful display with no not no punch hole.
Android 11 with the rogue UI Snapdragon triple eight processor so if you do a lot of gaming, you can play at the highest settings and this one is really not going to get hot at all. So I was really impressed with that. This phone does not have any SD card support. But there is a 256 gig model that I guess they have to sell you up on and 128 gig model you have your eight and 12 gig of ram configurations and then you have these crazy sounding speakers. There are two dedicated amplifiers and it reminds me of the LG phone two or three.
So basically the speakers are front facing and they just sound amazing bass everything just sounds like super clear everything coming at you it is really awesome speaker experience and also I believe this phone does have the quiet DAC as well so you get very high quality audio listening NFC as well as the under the display fingerprint sensor cameras are not super impressive one here is a triple camera setup from what I’ve seen a 64 megapixel standard 13 megapixel ultra wide five megapixel macro with 8k video and then you have a 24 megapixel selfie that shoots into NADP most people don’t buy these phones for the cameras anyway so it’s not a big deal but cameras if you get enough light you know you’ll get a decent shot.
You got a crazy 6000 milliamp battery with 65 Watt charging. So battery life if you’re just a normal light user and you just get this phone because you just want great battery life, you can easily get to three days easy so this is easily one of the best battery performance of the year as well so take that into consideration too.
Number 5: Pixel 5A 5G
You have an aluminum frame, aluminum back on here IP 67 dust and water resistant OLED display at 6.34 inches 1080 p 415. For the PPI overall just a really nice panel no high refresh rate but really not a big deal since this runs stock Android and it just performs very smoothly. You are going to get the latest version of Android when it comes out in a timely fashion which is something that we all love Snapdragon 765 G
on board Adreno 620 not a gaming phone, a super powerful chipset pretty much a mid range tier, you know chipset so you can expect you know casual gaming performance like web browsing, social media all very smooth, no SD card support 128 gigs of internal storage, and then you have very good stereo speakers on here as well. Great bass quality, great mids and highs Over our super clean sound and you also get the headphone jack as well as NFC onboard physical fingerprint scanner on the back works fine no issues there.
Sell with this one is definitely the flagship cameras 12.2 megapixel standard 16 megapixel ultra wide 4k video at 60 frames and an eight megapixel selfie cam 1080 P beautiful flagship quality photos whether you’re in good lighting low lighting is going to give you a great shot and it’s just very impressive this year again one of the most slept on phones I think that has come out this year. You also have very good battery life on here 4680 milliamp battery I did not struggle with battery life I was able to get a full day easy out of this phone no problem so the pixel 5A 5g is definitely a great phone to consider.
