Depends where you live, phones with SD cards are common in many countries (availability isn't tied to income levels or regional geography).
What's a good midrange smartphone which includes one? Has long update support and a SOC atleast on par to dimensity 8300/ Snapdragon 7+ gen 3? I know about Sony and if you remove the slower soc fairphone 6.
Even samsung has started to remove them from their midrange A series lineup from this year. The S series removed them a long time ago.
Motorola does not include it in their Edge 60 Pro series smartphones only some midrange SKUs do.
Xiaomi's HyperOS is a deal breaker so that's not an option. This leaves very few options which can be considered.
It was news to me that Samsung A series removed SD card support! That was my go to solution for SD card supporting phones.
There is the Nothing CMF Phone, albeit SoC is weaker.
Other than that, yes, it would be Chinese brands.
Sony Xperas all (but one) have SD Card support.
My Xperia 1 VI has up to 1.5/2TB.
I know I mentioned them in my comment. Unfortunately, Sony is available in limited countries.
