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.

I would love buying a Sony Xperia if it had a better update policy and wasn't that expensive

The price is insane. Have never been able to own a Sony phone, which is a shame

Look into the Xperia 10 VI, their mid-range. It's not in this list, but it does have a headphone jack.

Also have you seen how narrow and tall it is? Feels like an extended switchblade >.<

I love the aspect ratio of Sony phones, It actually allows me to use it completely with one Hand, normal phones are just a bit too wide to do so comfortably.

Xdd. Although, not anymore. 1 VI is now 18:9

I'm in the US so no Sony option but I had to stay away from Asus with their terrible update support/longevity and bootloader unlocking support. Samsung is similar on the latter portion, Motorola is bad on the former but may have to revisit their stance on bootloader unlocking for ROM support.
