Now we just need headphone jacks and SD cards and lineageos support and my dream phone will be mandated.

I can get onboard with (micro) sd card slots. But honestly I’m fine with not having a headphone jack. I never used it anyway. And wireless earbuds are way more convenient anyway because you don’t have a wire tethering your phone to your ears.

My YouTube premium downloads are on my sd card, which works out nicely.
