Any recommendations? I've been holding off on upgrading my shattered-screen 3a for almost 6 months assuming I'd get the 6a when it released, so pretty much anything would be an upgrade at this point. I'm really just looking for a good camera, a headphone jack, and a good battery.

I'm considering to buy a Pixel 5a, seems like the last good phone. It seems there are good deals on Ebay.

A friend of mine is in love with Samsung, and they seem to be the last major OEM making phones with > 1 port.

Sony phones (at least the ones I looked at and then stopped looking at once I saw their prices) seem to still have audio jacks. And amazing cameras. They seem to be great phones, the price tag is just crazy to me (as with all other flagships tbf).

usb-c headphone jack dongle + cable tether to attach it to your headphones

  I'm not really a fan of keeping the dongle attached to my headphones since all of my other devices have actual jacks. This probably works well if none of your devices have jacks (and they all have usb-c), though.

Another option to consider might be supplementing the best single-port phone you can find with a Dongle Dangler [0], which allows you to keep a dongle on your keychain. I use it with an iPhone 12 Mini (which has good enough camera/battery for me) and it solves the wired headphone problem, albeit with adding some extra steps. I would prefer to support manufacturers that are keeping the jack, but at a certain point I felt like I was sacrificing quite a bit in terms of other aspects of my smartphone experience to do so.

  Still can't charge and listen without yet another dongle.

    If you used wireless charging like MagSafe, you’d still be able to use the port for audio, right? A friend of mine swears by the MagSafe experience, but I’ve yet to try it.
