Won't buy a Fairphone if it doesn't have a headphone jack. I know this is the Fairphone community, but you probably know best what to recommend instead as an alternative (lemmy.world)

Title. What is the most ethical smartphone to buy instead of Fairphone that DOES have a 3.5mm headphone jack? By ethical I mean ticking as many boxes as possible: fair trade, environmentally sustainable (ideally using recycled materials), vegan (no animal products), etc etc. I also might get it second hand, but I still want the phone itself to be from an ethical company. Thanks

These work well most are the same thing: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=skull+candy+usb-c&ia=images&iax=images

Just be aware that most of the audio behavior is configured in VLC. The gain settings, and equalizer are coming from here. You may need to enable developer mode to access several settings.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll look for a brand I like better but is similar. Also I really like headphones with replaceable cables.

Perhaps there is a headphone that comes with a 3.5mm and USB c dual plug thing a ma jig
