The "bare minimum for a non-disposable, consumer friendly, half environmentally responsible phone" starter pack.

Also the custom ROM ability should not be merely a bonus. IMO it needs to be legally mandatory even above standardised charging connectors. It costs effectively nothing to implement because the base OS and general architecture supports it by default, the manufacturer simply needs to not disable it, and it is by far the most important thing for keeping a device from becoming unusable and possibly even a cybersecurity risk with age. Also just in principle, I paid for the hardware I should be able to put my own software on it.

Bring back the IR blaster. No one apparently misses it but me.

I'd rather have an IR blaster than a headphone jack

You can have an IR blaster as an accessory for the headphone jack.

My Xperia phone has all of these except the removable battery. I think the EU is legislating removable batteries be brought back to phones so given another year or two I'd expect to start seeing them again.

Which current Xperia is small? They dropped the compact line years ago.

Either the 5 series or the entry-level Ace series (Japan only).
