> Headphone jacks in phones are (sadly) gone forever i'm afraid.

Maybe from Google phones, for now? Possibly on smaller phones. But Best Buy sells 7 models with 5g and a headphone jack. There's almost certainly more if you shop a retailer with more variety, using Best Buy because they have decent filtering.

GSMArena has a great parametric search: https://www.gsmarena.com/search.php3

Unfortunately, unlockable bootloader isn't one of the parameters available, and I consider it essential.


I like the parametric search, but searching a US retailer helps me focus on phones that are reasonable to source and use in the US. I could manage when GSM was two bands in the US, and usually two bands overseas and if you wanted a really neat phone you hoped it was quad band or at least tri band, because the really neat phones that were dual band were dual band on EU frequencies... now GSM Arena inevitably points me at phones intended for use in Japan and usually have a pretty poor match up with bands I'm likely to use while remaining flexible for use on other carriers in case it becomes a hand me down and the recipient isn't on the same carrier as me.


The GSMArena search does let you filter by bands, though I can imagine that getting tedious.
