Problem is finding one and an unlocked bootloader so you can get rid of all the Google crap.

A15 + 5g both have a headphone jack and can be unlocked apparently. Probably the A25 versions too.

Useful advice

Edit: it appears that this is only accurate for the models not sold in North America

I have a Samsung xcover 6 pro. It has the jack + 2 sims + 1 microsd + removable battery

You too? Right on!

I honestly would have never touched a Samsung phone again had I not discovered the XCover - Pro line of phones.

I did not know about this line of phones, very interesting!

I stopped caring about the headphone jack when every pair I used, the wire eventually wore out. Having to buy more every couple months was getting old. I'd rather recharge my Airpods every 4 or 5 hours for 45 mins than continue buying wired headphones repeatedly for enternity.

But that's just my personal experience. I use headphones at work, so obviously with all the constant moving around, it was hard on the wires. I don't wish for the jack to be removed but I will never use it again for my purposes.

Xperia 1 VI works in USA, just not with all bands and carriers
