Thanks for the article. It still shows that medium-range Samsung such as the A34 and A54 don't have it anymore, while the A52 and A72 still had it.
Indeed, some Nokia phones have jack, but the issue comes from the CPU: the G42 has a Snapdragon 480, while the X30 has a Snapdragon 695, but no headphone jack. Also, the G42 has battery issues

The Nokia G21 mentioned in the article have low performance (which makes sense, it's an entry level device): https://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_g21-review-2389p4.php
The Samsung I was referring to is the A25, 200€ on Amazon, and the A09, 109€.
The 500€ you are referring too is the A55, 370€, but no headphone jack.
I'm not either, and that's what I'm telling you: on top of the flagships, the medium range phones don't have jack anymore either (as shows your article)
Having to buy the entry range device, which last longer and provide a worse experiences, probably doesn't compensate getting a jack.
Neither do I? I mentioned the 200€ and 109€ as entry level
Agreed
They didn't really gave them a choice. As per your article, between 2019 and 2020, Samsung dropped the jack on the S-line. People who upgrade phones regularly tend to stick to a brand they know due to convenience, so indeed most of the people wouldn't have dropped years of satisfying Samsung experience for a jack, especially as phones came with Bluetooth earbuds.
I tried, I have been researching this topic extensively in the last few months, and when you add on top of that I prefer phones less than 160 mm high, the possibilities are very limited.
Which I get from a manufacturer perspective: smaller phones sell less (as their audience tends to keep them longer), and most of the people don't care about the jack. But thinking that a specific demographic can influence the whole market doesn't seem realistic.
Now that I think about it, even the Fairphone dropped the jack...
