Looking for that magic has-it-all phone

US

Hi folks! I've been trying to find a phone that has the features I want with no luck so far. I can't find a chart of phones and their feature to help me narrow my selection. Hope you all can help out!

​

I'm looking for a phone with:

  • Wireless charging (I know it's not amazing, but I've never had it and I want to see if it makes life easier)
  • Headphone jack
  • Current gen mid-level or top-tier SoC
  • Small or no notch
  • Pure or nearly-pure Android with good update history (no Samsung because of this)
  • I assume battery life is good enough on all phones in this range

​

Things I don't care about:

  • Camera quality
  • 5G
  • Bezels
  • Price

​

The closest I've found is the LG G8, but it's not very Stock Android. Everything else seems either have wireless charging or a headphone jack, but not both!

​

Thank you all again!

Samsung updates their phones way better than LG does, and IMO has a better interface than LG Skin's some say its better than stock

Closest thing is the Asus Zenfone 6, which has everything besides wireless charging (it releases in July Afaik)

Thanks. The Zenfone is very attractive, and if I have to give up wireless charing, then it's my choice.

Both Samsung and LG skins are better than stock by far.

Samsung's One UI is excellent and they provide updates just fine. Get a Note 9. It's the most complete phone in years.

On principle, I won't buy anything from Samsung that has an OS and their bloatware. If I could reflash it without losing any serious functionality, I would consider it.

Your loss.
