Mobiles with Micro SD Memory Card Slot?

Yeah, I agree with headphones, plus you can always use an USB C adapter. It’s more the idea for the expanded storage, headphone jacks are an after thought.

I was looking at a Sony in a shop window the other day.  Thought “oh, that’s quite nice” then saw the £1,299 price tag next to it.  That’s a wedge for something CEX will give you £40 for in three years time.

There are cheaper models of course, and that’s in line with other flagships. I dunno who pays full price for a phone. Guess some people must do. Bit like buying a Kona I suppose. I would be looking to pay a lot less, whether Xperia or the latest iPhone.

Sony make some excellent phones that fit the bill.

Not all Sonys are that expensive – a previous-gen 10- or 5- series is very close in spec to the current gen and can be had for reasonable money. The 5-series is basically a 1-series with a bit less RAM.

If your priorities are SD card, camera quality and headphone jack then Sony Xperia 1, 5 & 10 are the best phones IMO – I’ve been buying previous-gen 5-series for years now, no regrets. My wife recently bought a refurbed previous-gen 1-series for less than the cost of a new 5-series – absolute bargain. Sony 1-series are basically like BMW 7-series – the people who tend to buy them always want the latest & greatest at any cost, so last year’s model can be had for (relative) peanuts.
