Sony still makes phones with headphone jacks, they also have kickass cameras. I'm rocking an xperia 5 v and its been great. The only thing its missing is a removable battery.
This true, though I do find the pixel series cameras to be subjectively better overall. That's the key feature for me over the others sadly. I used to use Xperia. Then they got expensive and switched. Now everyone else got expensive too. So I might just switch back if their camera keeps improving. The sensor is always top tier, their post processing is just a few steps behind the others.
Again, just my subjective feel. I check MKBHDs blind camera rankings each year to see if there's a standout to look into as well. Xperia does okay there IMO. Pixel kills it though as an all-arounder camera. (The gcam port projects help fix this though)
No doubt. For me, the pixel is a non-starter due to lack of sd card slot and lack of headphone jack. They used to not be ip rated too which is a big deal for me but I think the newer ones are.
