    No, not any more, unfortunately.

    Moto G84 from two years ago has been the last of their middle class phones with a 3.5mm jack.
    Their flagships already dropped that long before.
    On top of that, Motorola also started including ad-ridden crapware into their firmware.

    I’m desperately searching for a decert replacement for my Moto G72, which will get its last security update in October.
    There is just completely none that’s still featuring SD-card and headphone jack… :-(

        They are low-end phones, though.

        The point is, headphone jacks are completely gone from all mid-range and high-end phones.
        With the exception of Sonys (which are overpriced for what you get).

            That’s funny, I didn’t find a G Super on Google, so I assumed you meant the G Pro. That would be mid-range, but also is kinda old…
            But while researching the recent models on Gsmarena, I came across the G Power, which I would consider mid-range. That what you are meaning?
            Thing is, like the G Stylus models mentioned somewhere else already, this seems to be North-America-exclusive.
            So, enjoy the choices you still have over there, while they still exist! I am slightly envious, though… ;-)

              Oh maybe it was G power. They used to have a bunch of random names for the G line, but they’ve reduced them to G, G power, and G stylus. I currently have a G power. Before that I had a G power and before that I had a G super. That might have been when they stopped with the other names. I’m getting them mixed up.

                It is the G power. I got one for my kid and it doesn’t feel midrange these days. We’ve had both the 2021 version and the 2023 version for different kids and I swear they haven’t improved performance at all since the 2021. It does still have a headphone jack though.

      I have a 2023 G Stylus 5g and it has both. Idk the non US model designations but I thought the current versions still had them.

          Same boat here, I was also looking for a G84 replacement, the Stylus ones look good, but not available in Europe indeed 😔

          Maybe see if the US models support your networks. I think they’re all the same except the marketing labels.

            Not worth the effort importing one…
            Because if something goes wrong, you are on your own.

            I will probably try LineageOs on a used Moto G84.
            If that doesn’t work, recent Fairphone is looking good, although lacking the headphone jack…
