A premium phone with a 3.5mm jack is hard to come by but Sony's Xperia 1 III is an exception. For starters, Sony's Xperia 1 III is a flagship-grade phone with a 6.5-inch 120Hz 4K HDR OLED display. Besides being a 4K panel, it has a tall 21:9 aspect ratio, handy if you need more screen real estate for viewing content or playing games.

Content consumption on the Xperia 1 III is also appealing due to its 360 Reality Audio support. Even better, the device has several camera smarts up its sleeves.It has three 12MP cameras (a 16mm ultra-wide, 24mm wide, and a telephoto lens with variable lenses) with four focal lengths, real-time autofocus tracking, and a dedicated camera shutter button. But don't be fooled by the low megapixel count on these cameras.

For one, the telephoto camera has two lenses, a 70mm and 105mm lens, so you can choose whichever suits a given circumstance for perfect shots. Sure, don't expect 8K video from the rear camera setup but what Sony offers is the ability to shoot up to 4K video at higher 120fps which is hard to find on other smartphones.

Sony includes microSD card support via a shared SIM slot, which is handy if you need more storage. For durability, the Sony Xperia 1 III has an IP68 rating and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus atop that impressive display which includes improved drop and scratch resistance.

Google's Pixel line of phones has been a go-to option for their impressive camera, clean software experience, and timely software and security updates. With the Pixel 5a, Google retains the same winning formula. And, if you want a Pixel phone with a headphone jack, the Google Pixel 5a is your go-to choice.

The device has a 12.2MP wide camera and a secondary 16MP ultra-wide camera with Google's acclaimed computational photography smarts. You can shoot up to 4K video at 60fps, which is enough for anyone who wants to create content on the go. Design-wise, the Pixel 5a goes for a rather familiar Pixel design. It has a hole punch notch on the top left, relatively small bezels, and on the rear, a square camera bump and a fingerprint scanner.

What makes the Pixel 5a stand out is its impressive battery life which has won phone reviewers' hearts both on and off YouTube. It also packs IP67 water and dust resistance which was not available in the Pixel 4a. Corning Gorilla Glass 3 is a plus, and the back is made of aluminum which is much stronger than a plastic back and will age better.

The OnePlus Nord N200 is an entry-level phone that offers more than just the basics. First, the device sports a 6.49-inch FHD+ 90Hz display. If you haven't used a high refresh rate smartphone before, you'll certainly appreciate the additional frames per second, which offer a smooth scrolling experience.

Since a high refresh rate panel can easily affect battery life, OnePlus tackles this by including a massive 5000mAh battery. Furthermore, it doesn't take long to juice the device if you're low on power, thanks to its 18W fast charging support.

With 64GB of internal storage at your disposal, OnePlus doesn't compromise by giving you an option to add more (up to 256GB) if you want via a dedicated microSD card slot. A Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 chip powers the OnePlus Nord N200, which isn't, by any measure, the latest and greatest chip but does include 5G support. And to top off this affordable smartphone, you can still listen to your favorite music via wired headphones since it boasts a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Samsung's Galaxy A series range doesn't rival the flagship S series, but the great value proposition makes it stand out. Thanks to the impressive balance between price and features, the Galaxy A52 5G was a hit right from day one. First, the device stands out from the crowd with its 120Hz FHD+ Super AMOLED display with HDR10+ support, also found on the Samsung S22 Ultra.

While the latest lineup of Samsung Galaxy phones are considered Samsung's flagship models, the Samsung Galaxy A52 5G is the best Samsung smartphone with a headphone jack. In addition to this, it boasts 800 nits brightness which makes the display bright enough for a comfortable viewing experience outdoors, trumping competing devices in its category.

Furthermore, the A52 5G includes expandable storage support via a shared SIM slot which comes in handy when you want more space, a feature that is slowly fading away on many modern smartphones. And although some essential features are disappearing, this smartphone is IP67 water and dust resistance, meaning it can withstand up to 3 feet of fresh water for up to 30 minutes.

When it comes to the cameras, the A52 5G is a pretty capable phone with a 64MP primary camera with optical image stabilization aided by a 12MP ultra-wide camera and two 5MP cameras (one for macro shots and the other is a depth sensor). The performance of the main and secondary is impressive, with the duo managing to shoot useable images and maintain detail even in less than ideal conditions, as per our hands-on review.

Nokia has a history of making durable phones in the feature phone era. However, times have changed, and feature phones are no longer mainstream. To try and reclaim its former title, Nokia introduced the XR 20, a rugged 5G-capable smartphone. The Nokia XR20 5G is MIL-STD-810H compliant, a military specification that means it can withstand drops and survive in harsh environmental conditions.

Additionally, The XR 20 5G also has an IP68 rating, hinting at the ability to survive 4.9 feet underwater for up to half an hour. Add up to 5.9 feet of drop protection, and you have a device that is a companion no matter where you go.

Aside from the rugged and tough nature, the XR20 doesn't skimp on other key features. It has a 4630mAh battery with 18W wired and 15W wireless fast charging support and a rear camera setup with two but practical lenses, a 48MP wide and 13MP ultrawide shooter. It also boasts a 3.5mm headphone jack, so you can continue to listen to music via wired headphones, or using an AUX cable.

The Asus ROG series is well known for its gaming-first approach. The Asus ROG Phone 5s doesn't deviate from that. It features a gaming-focused design that makes it stand out from the rest and includes two USB Type-C ports and RGB lighting.

Under the hood, Qualcomm's 2021 Snapdragon 888+ 5G chip powers the device paired with up to 18GB of memory which is more than you'll need to run even the most demanding Android games. And to ensure your gaming isn't hampered in any way, the phone has a 144Hz refresh rate AMOLED display with just a 1ms latency and 360Hz native touch sampling rate.

The display has a peak brightness of 1200 nits, which comes in handy when playing games outdoors. Since gaming can hit your battery pretty fast, the massive 6000mAh capacity does help. But don't let the high battery capacity fool you; charging the ROG Phone 5s is snappy due to its 65W fast charging support. According to ASUS, a compatible 65W power brick can fill the battery in less than an hour, which is impressive.

The headphone jack lives on the bottom, so you can plug in your wired headphones or earphones for an immersive gaming experience. That headphone jack also comes in handy when you don't want to disrupt other people while gaming away from home.

The Samsung Galaxy A32 5G is the cheapest device from the tech giant with 5G support. Besides 5G support, which promises faster download speeds with less latency, this phone also has a 6.5-inch display panel with a 90Hz refresh rate and Corning Gorilla Glass 5. A 5000mAh battery powers the phone, and it supports 15W fast charging to ensure that it doesn't take forever to fill.

What's even better, the A32 5G has an impressive battery life, so you won't need to juice it often like most modern smartphones. Moving to the camera side of things, the phone has four dedicated cameras on the rear. What makes the A32 5G stand out from the competition is the 48MP wide sensor with PDAF and the secondary 8MP ultrawide camera.

Like many of the older generation Samsung phones, the Samsung Galaxy A32 5G also includes a headphone jack. So, you're getting a decent amount of phone for your money, with features that stand the test of time, although are rarely seen in newer Galaxy models.
