It's so stupid. All the phones newer than mine have less hardware features so if I replace it I'll have to find new ways of doing a bunch of things. I'm just accepting the risk at this point until manufacturers get their heads out of their asses and make something decent or my carrier stops supporting my phone. I'd have probably bought two more phones since I got this one if everything wasn't a downgrade from what I have currently.

Yeah that's why I caved and bought a Sony Xperia 1 VI, yes it was very expensive, but at least it still does everything I want

Sd card slot, headphone jack, great front firing speakers, no hole punch selfie camera, good cameras and awesome battery life
