We asked, you told us: Your smartphone still has a headphone port
July 27, 2025
The headphone port has become a rare sight on flagship phones, with the likes ofAsusandSonybeing among the few manufacturers launching high-end phones with the 3.5mm port. Otherwise, brands like Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus, and others have all ditched it on their flagships.
We still see it on mid-rangers and low-end devices though, making for a welcome sight and a rare occasion where cheaper phones offer something that flagships lack. Nevertheless, we wanted to find out whetherAndroid Authorityreaders still have a headphone jack on their smartphones. So here’s how you voted in this poll.
Does your current phone have a headphone port?
The poll wasposted on June 16, and a grand total of over 7,700 votes were counted as of writing. This gives us a huge sample size to work with, and the final results show that almost two-thirds of respondents still have a 3.5mm port on their phone.
That might be a surprise to some in light of most flagships ditching the standard, but it’s an understandable result. Budget phones are the real volume drivers in the smartphone industry, and devices in this segment generally keep the headphone port. So it seems more likely that the average consumer has a phone with the port.

Nevertheless, 38.7% of respondents said their current device lacks a headphone port. Comments suggest that the lack of the port was either a non-factor or that users were bothered by the omission but bought their device anyway.
