I don’t think the issue with phones is the smaller bezels or better displays.
That’s not what’s ruining them.

android peaked with the pixel 2. then everyone went overboard on bezel-less displays and fast refresh rates and smart assistant services and brought the whole damn thing crashing down.

Fast refresh rates are amazing. I cherised my old Razer Phone 2 before it was hip.

I think it varies from person to person. My gf can’t tell the difference at all, even when she really tries, neither can a friend of mine (who also use the most insane jerky screen settings on his TV). For me, I can’t imagine going back to 60hz ever again. It feels like something is physically wrong with my phone if I turn 120hz off.

Yep, didn’t use it much but I have studio headphones that I lliked to plug from time to time.

TBH getting a nice dongle like a Fiio KA5 is not so bad. It’s small enough to just hang off the cord, and sounds better anyway.

Not so bad?
That thing costs 230€ vs a free headphone jack. 🙄
