It's so unfortunate the Xiaomi is practically removing the ability to install roms on your phone. The hardware is usually decent, but the software is always horrible. I probably won't buy from them again.
What options are you considering instead?
I think the only option with a 3.5mm jack and SD card is a Motorola. I'm not currently looking, so I haven't researched much.
I'm dreading the time I have to buy a new phone.
I have a mi 10 running xiaomi.eu (hyperOS/android 13) and I'm plannijg to keep it ~as much as I can, till about 2028. ~Hopefully there'll be a Fairphone 7 available till then to buy.
