Have you looked at what sony has to offer? They latest xperia had a headphone jack, sd card and I believe lineageOS support.
i installed lineageOS on an xperia 5 ii, so older model, and seems to be going strong. got latest update 1 week ago.
They haven't been sold in Canada for years, and when I went looking for them on eBay the prices were ridiculous, if they were available at all. Most of the time I look for a model, there simply aren't any listings.
That's a damn shame. I really liked their phones, their only downside, I think, was the crap support - they only give 2 years of updates. But with lineage that is no longer an issue.
They were the only option for a smaller phone for a long time as well, but sadly not available here... :(
Are you talking about phones like the Xperia 5 IV?
They have unlockable bootloaders and AOSP ROM support?
Aye, they have unlockable bootloaders and sony also provides instructions and firmware needed to build your own AOSP if that's your pleasure. I just went the lineageOS way.
That's wonderful to hear. Do they support relockable bootloaders with self signed keys? If so, that makes em possible to use with projects like GrapheneOS, CalyxOS
I've no idea on the relockable bootloader support with self signed keys. Though I do remember reading at some point from some lad ranting about why it's a bad idea to relock, and seemed to make sense, so I didn't look further into the matter. The post was on the... ehm... other website.
Relocking is ideal for system integrity, you can have full verified boot support on ROMs like graphene
