I don't like smartphones. I use a dumbphone.

But this is a wonderful initiative.

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?

[–] cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Yes, a quick search on GSM Arena shows 189 phones with a radio and headphone jack. That's just phones from the last year.

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!

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

yes, even some that never mention the radio have one (n10 5g us model).
