I got Motorola with a headphone jack, and I use it surprisingly often. All my Bluetooth stuff has fallen apart faster than my wired stuff.
They are one of the few OEMs that still offers headphone jacks and they are overall decent midrange phones. If they weren't so damned big and had an unlocked bootloader for ROM support I'd be on one right now.
Yeah, I've given up on bootloaders long ago. After I broke my last phone, finding a decent mid range phone with expandable storage, a headphone jack, stylus and nice colors was pretty nice. The cameras are decent, and the processing power is fine for most stuff. The only time it slows down is if I'm cropping and editing a video or screen recording, which is a pretty seldom thing.
My Pixel 4a was perfect, but it is sadly gone now. I ended up with an 8a to I could keep using grapheneOS, but without a headphone jack I just started using a standalone portable music player. It seems ridiculous because it is, but that is what they forced on me and I will never forgive any of these companies for it.
