I bought an unlocked pixel 7a because of lots of custom roms once it goes out of support

It's huge and doesn't have a headphone jack or SD card slot but it's very fast and has a good camera

My dream phone would be:

  • Unlocked bootloader

  • Replaceable battery

  • Small

  • Expandable storage

  • Good camera

  • IR blaster

  • Updates provided for a long time

  • Stock Android

  • Very durable

I'd add NFC to that list because mobile payments are awesome.

I'd buy that phone for sure. Sounds hella good.

The closest you could get is the fair phone, its not perfect but once its available where I am I'm thinking on getting it.

The Samsung flagships (s22, 23) are the only "small" phones, but they're actually pretty good. I've been using Samsung for a few years now and it actually improves on the things that annoy me with stock android.

Nah personally I would trade SD card support for headphone jack any day, but hey I get why they got rid of it, something to do with the environment
