They also keep taking away features, like removable storage (microSD) and headphone jacks. There's a few phones that have them, but it gets more difficult to find them as time goes on.

Create a problem, sell a solution. It's so annoying.
headphone jack -> sell bluetooth headphones
microSD -> sell cloud storage

Sony Xperia flagship has both. I think it's the only Snapdragon 8g3 phone that does.

@Zerthax They’ll say they are responding to consumers who “want cloud storage and wireless headphones,” but options are always better, in my opinion.
