I use Sony Xperia phones, they aren't as big and still have the same features I love - SD Card and Headphone Jack

I've eyed some Xperias. How are the security updates?

None, Sony makes no promises of long term support. The most they usually support a device is two years if even. Typically they only commit to one version of Android upgrade and then you are on your own.

Apparently they're up to three years now. Woo.

That's not bad. I usually keep a Pixel around to AOSP Style ROMs just in case nothing compelling comes out between big vendor releases. I'm already dreading the day my Galaxy Flip4 goes OOS. Have a Pixel 7 running Graphene as a backup/ travel burner currently.
