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.

Tunes are important. My car is older and I have to use a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter to get music from my phone. Works well enough. Only downside is I can't charge the phone if I'm playing music.

Ah, yeah man that would suck. Having the 3.5 plus the USB-C means I can run that thing on there 24/7 if I wanted. I keep it on top of my toolbox which has a built in power strip and fast charging USB ports built in. It's a good setup.

Does your phone do wireless charging. Most newer phones that dumped the 3.5 jack have wireless charging. Can purchase a phone mount that does it. Then you can charge and do tunes.

Oh possibly it's a pixel 7 never looked into that.

Most flagship phones around 2016-2018 have both the headphone jack and wireless charging.

This is why i upgraded from an samsung s7 to a note 9. Why pay more for less features?
