    Fairphone. No headphone jack, but at least a microSD card slot.

    I used to say Sony but fuck them. They still have both though.

    Motorola also has both on many models.

    No interesting phones. Nowadays the most interesting phones are the ones you can secure and degoogle the most (too bad pixels have no SD card, no headphone jack, and tiny storage)

      There are a number of niche brands out there that still cater to us old farts. Check out Ulefone, Oukitel, Unihertz, Doogee, iiif150, etc. Each company has normal models, but they all also dabble in unusual experimental models as well, some that are ultra small, other that have blackberry style keypads, or feature projectors, floodlights, uhf radios, thermal cameras, multiple screens, etc etc.

      Most models still retain SD card slots, headphone jacks, some still have IR emitters and other older i/o as well.

      They’re all Chinese companies though, funny how all the consumer tech innovation is happening in communist countries.

        Theres been a few Chinese models I found appealing, but using a Chinese phone in the States seems like a huge hassle from what I’ve heard

          yeah, tmobile (and mvno’s that use their network) is the only US carrier that it’s easily doable on, and you’ve gotta make sure the phone has the 4g/5g bands/antennas that match their network.
