The Gigaset GS6 Pro combines modern smartphone features with a commitment to sustainability. Equipped with a 6.67-inch FHD+ OLED display (120 Hz), the fast MediaTek Dimensity 7300 5G processor, and a generous 256 GB of internal storage, it’s perfectly equipped for intensive multitasking. The absolute highlight: The removable 5,300 mAh battery, which can be charged via 30W fast charging or wirelessly. Thanks to its rugged, IP68-certified housing, a high-resolution 64 MP triple camera, and future-proof Android.
No, but I think most “waterproof” phones can fulfil only something like IP44, that is, withstand some light rain.
Even if they appear in other search lists, and especially (!!) when they “invent” other standards than the strict IPxx numbers that have existed alteady before this phone.
If you open a Fairphone 4/5/6/6+, there’s more than enough space for a headphone jack.
Fairphone 4 for example: The SoC could provide the output, the Xperia 10 III has the same one. They could probably cram in a tiny DAC somewhere. No idea about the SoCs of the newer models, but I imagine it’s not that difficult.
Waterproofing a 3.5mm jack is not that difficult compared to a USB-C port. There are quite a few phones on the market right now which are waterproof and have a headphone jack: https://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?chk35mm=selected&sAvailabilities=1&sIPCerts=11
The problem is that it takes away a chunk of space which usually means less battery life.
Hm. If you say so. But I would never trust it further than a few minutes in the rain.
Do you think it’s more difficult to waterproof than a USB-C port? And if so, how did 148 phones from the list above get their IP68/IP69 ratings?

I think the Asus ROG phones did just fine with it. Unfortunately, it seems that line has been discontinued.
But anyway, the last one from 2024 had a 5,800mAh battery, a headphone jack, and 2 USB-C ports (side and bottom).
