The lack of an FM radio and headphone jack make it unusable for me.
Are there phones available these days with both of these things?
yes, even some that never mention the radio have one (n10 5g us model).
Yes, a quick search on GSM Arena shows 189 phones with a radio and headphone jack. That’s just phones from the last year.
Unfortunately, almost all of them are mediatek based, so while that makes rooting easier, there’s very little chance of getting a custom ROM running on them.
not really flashship phones. Well the Xiaomi ones might be flagship but I don’t really keep track with those phones
Interesting, I very rarely see headphone jacks and had noe clue that FM radio in phones was a thing still. Nice resource, bookmarking that for later!
Yes
