Other than the side mounted fingerprint meter, I replaced my Note 10 Lite with another Note 10 Lite because it had all the other features.

  Yup, and it was released 6 years ago and is no longer getting security updates.

https://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_a06-13265.php https://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_a06-13265.php This year, no NFC. https://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_a15-12637.php https://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_a15-12637.php Last year, but they removed 3.5mm this year That I know, in Latin America, they don't have all that anymore. And there is only one left with 3.5mm.

  That's what I expected, especially the 3.5 mention made me suspicious.

    check out the XCover line, though apparently this year's model makes you choose between fingerprint and headphone jack (XCover7 vs XCover7 Pro) you do give up a lot camera-wise, though

There are no smartphones or pocket computers that tick these boxes anymore, since general-purpose computing is an anathema to the modern, specialized enshittification slop. For a modern device to serve most, if not all, relevant features, it takes a company that is built around principles that go beyond just shareholder satisfaction. You see the dilemma... AFAIR, the Samsung Galaxy Note9 was the last device that deserved to be called general-purpose pocket computer. EMR stylus, 3.5 mm audio, mSD card slot, USB-C 3.1, good CPU, adequate memory for the time (8 GB), good cameras. If you're willing to forgive the non-removable battery, the only suck was the screen if you were sensitive to PWM, especially with regards to lower flicker frequencies. Alas, seven years ago Samsung got the itch and divorced from good pocket computer design. The Note9 seems almost like an accident, given Samsung's market policies of today.

I have an xcover 6 pro with dual sim, 3.5 jack, removable battery and micro sd support, it works great (except buying an original battery is not super easy). I know the 7 is out too but I think its reviews were worse on amazon
