I bought an unlocked pixel 7a because of lots of custom roms once it goes out of support
It's huge and doesn't have a headphone jack or SD card slot but it's very fast and has a good camera
My dream phone would be:
Unlocked bootloader
Replaceable battery
Small
Expandable storage
Good camera
IR blaster
Updates provided for a long time
Stock Android
Very durable
I'd add NFC to that list because mobile payments are awesome.
ir blaster gang gang
The Samsung flagships (s22, 23) are the only "small" phones, but they're actually pretty good. I've been using Samsung for a few years now and it actually improves on the things that annoy me with stock android.
I'd buy that phone for sure. Sounds hella good.
The closest you could get is the fair phone, its not perfect but once its available where I am I'm thinking on getting it.
Nah personally I would trade SD card support for headphone jack any day, but hey I get why they got rid of it, something to do with the environment
