  Fairphone might be somewhat closer for what you want

    Yeah, that’s the problem. Why only 1 phone has the options most of us want?

    I hate this billionaire-controlled timeline we’re on.

      Most people don’t care and if there’s no microSD slot, you can sell more expensive phones via overpriced internal storage. No 3.5mm jack, but we’ve got these wireless buds you could try. Would be stupid for companies to put these things back unfortunately.

      Because most people don’t need a 3mm jack anymore, I prefer to use a USB-c dac anyway the sound is better.

      And I offload the data to a NAS anyway so the storage is irrelevant anyway.

    FP5 doesn’t have a 3.5mm jack 😔

      An external DAC is better anyway, just put that on your headphones.

        Having to use a USB hub to use my earphones while i’m charging my phone is not my idea of a pleasant user experience.

    Fairphone is also gigantic.

    HMD Skyline and Fusion also

      No headphone jack on those unless I missed something.

        Looks like Skyline doesn’t have one but Fusion does

  Just get a USB-c dongle and let that sit on your headphones. These days nearly everything has USB-c anyway and the sound is way better. The last phones I had with the USB-c jack (RedMi Note 13 Pro and iPhone 4 before that) all sounded worse than me using a cheap DAC. Getting an expensive DAC will improve the sound even more.

  Personally I say that most would need to get a NAS before they need a SD card or you need to get a dedicated Camera or MP4 player if your pictures or music exceed the 500GB max and streaming isn;t an option using a NAS.

  The rest of your points are valid.

    Yeah spending 100s of dollars on whole other devices you have to carry around instead of like 10 for an SD card makes a ton of sense.

      Yeah man cause a SD card that sits in your phone also works as a backup solution.

      • lightnsfw@reddthat.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        It’s not a backup. Neither is a camera or MP4 player (which also can’t play games or display books/comics, so I’d be up to 4 devices to have all my media covered). It’s a way of keeping my media available while I am on the go with or without a internet connection. It’s by far the simplest solution and allows me to do everything on my phone.

  App restrictions can be disabled in developer options.

    I would categorize that as having to fuck around with permission bullshit but thank you for the suggestion.

  Also make it durable. Thicker. Heavier. I’m going to slap a case on it otherwise

  I don’t know of any with swappable batteries anymore. The HTC U24 and U23 series both have headphone jack and MicroSD slot. There are a few others.
