I got one just 17 months ago (it also has a headphone jack).
I can't predict what manufacturers will do, of course, but with headphones, you have Bluetooth. What's the corresponding substitute for the SD slot?
Which, btw, is another unconventional observation of mine: you no longer need the newest, fanciest phone from Samsung, Apple, or Google. At one time you did. The cheaper ones are more than adequate nowadays and most likely you'll be replacing it every couple years anyway. YMMV.
