AveranWell the Zenfone 7 series are out and are without 3.5mm jacks.https://zentalk.asus.com/en/discussion/comment/99141#Comment_99141
Maybe go with the upcoming Zenfone 7 series then?
If leaks are correct there may be a premium Zenfone 7 pro this year
It retains the jack,has a 5k mah battery, probably a high refresh rate OLED this year and good software support and development
Plus has a sd slot expandable upto 2tb

long.greggWhy don't you use the dongle which is included in the box itself.I'm just going to say it even though there is nothing I can do about it. The loss of the headphone jack is a tremendous disappointment to me. This phone was tailor made for it. It has a big screen and a huge battery which makes it a prefect media consumption device. I don't game at all and I love this phone. Even MKBHD gave it a very favorable rating last year for this reason alone. I would often sit at my desk with my comfortable headphones on watching YouTube and Netflix on slow days on the ROG2. No worrying about charging bluetooth earbuds and nothing jammed in my ear canal which invariably hurts after a while. And if you are actually a gamer I can't but imagine that a wired headphone and mic would be very much a preferred option. Really believe this was a big mistake. I can't see any reason to have done this with a phone that has plenty of room to keep the jack.
Just going to say it - loss of headphone jack sucks
