      I’m using the Pixel 5a. Solid phone, low price, unlocked so it can move networks, virtual SIM ready, 5G capable, and it has a headphone jack. Mine is a few years old and still cruising along just fine. I think they were under $500 at launch, so don’t believe anybody’s bullshit about headphone jacks drastically raising costs.

        Pixel 5a was great, but the units that are a couple years old are having major issues with the charging circuitry / motherboard. My phone bricked overnight while charging. It seems widespread enough right now that they’ve completely run out of refurbished stock of 5as and 6as to send out for replacements. I waited 6 weeks for an RMA with absolutely no updates – was about to just give up, buy a new phone, and take Google to small claims court. Finally got a replacement unit because the “social media team made an exception for me” after I tweeted them.

        Same, and no clue what I’m doing after it. I love my headphone jack … Maybe an ASUS ROG?
