What kind of stuff are you looking for?
Screen with no holes, physical dual SIM cards and mSD card, headphone jack, somewhat trustworthy manufacturer with no ads and bloat, easily unlockable bootloader. There should still be one German-made phone that still has all that and some more, if it still exists, although if I ever get to getting a new phone we'll probably all be using brain implants so it may all be moot by that point. Don't worry about it, I'm not looking for recommendations or anything, I know everyone thinks my demands are crazy.
Nah the demands aren't crazy, they all used to be standard until the mass enshitification hit. My sister's boyfriend found one that had almost all of those bar from the hole punch and the trustworthy manufacturer (some off brand Chinese company I don't remember off the top of my head). Even had a thermal camera on it which was cool
There are a lot of phones that have some of the features - Sony has punchless displays, some cheap phones have headphone jacks, all the Motorolas have two SIMs, some phones have SD cards in shared slots, Pixels and some others have unlockable bootloaders, it's just basically impossible to get one with all of this...
