I was still within my return period, so I returned the phone (Motorola Edge+ 2022) for a full refund simply stating it did not meet my requirements. The two big missing features I overlooked when I hastily purchased the phone were the 3.5 mm headphone jack and an SD card slot.

The chosen replacement phone (Motorola G Stylus 5G 2023) is not lacking those features. The CPU is a downgrade, and I lost 2 GB RAM (8 to 6). New phone is running Android 13 whereas the Edge+ only went up to 12. Phone size is identical, but this new one has a built in stylus. It's also considerably cheaper, so I got $200 back in my pocket.

All in all, I'm more pleased with this unit. Thanks for making me feel like an idiot.

There are usb-c/ headphone jack dongles that fit into your usb-c port on a phone. I'm wired earbuds all the way.

I travel.... a lot..doing day trips....If I remembered the dongle I'd remember the headphones at home.

Now I can get them for free from the plane or 3 bucks from the local wherever.

Once you go usb, lightning, wireless, you are looking at spending a hell of a lot more for only a day's use.

Plus I do shit with music that is far better to use an analog jack with zero latency, no power, and isolated. Older is sometimes better.

Motorola has some pretty good options including a headphone jack with a modern Android installed.
