My Samsung Galaxy A22 has headphone jack (which gets used all the time), dual SIM, dedicated SD card slot, NFC, all day battery, and 5G support.
It came out this year — there are plenty of sane manufacturers releasing phones with features that people want out there.
Use cases for 3.5mm jack that Bluetooth can't handle:
* Never having to worry about headphones running out of charge
* Zero added latency - critical for music making apps (somewhat remediated with latest BT versions, but good luck finding latency specs on the box)
* Switching between devices instantly (work/personal laptop and phone) - especially not fun if you use more than 2 of them
The last issue is especially annoying. It's 2022, I should be able to pair my headphones instantly by tapping them to the device I want to pair them to, without screens and buttons. Accelerometers exist. Proximity sensors exist.
But noooo, apparently, UX is not a consideration in the design of this godforesaken protocol.
