Check out HMD phones. They have the SD slot and the 3.5mm jack as well. They also have partnered with iFixit so that you can replace parts as well.

Looking at the specs of this HMD phone, I would not recommend it. The headphone jack and SD card slot are about all this phone has going for it. It's underpowered, especially for a phone running Android 14. I guess it wouldn't be too bad for people who just need the cheapest Android phone they can get.

...There also appears to be a hole in the screen 🙃 (i loathe camera holes and screen "notches").

Unless you are in India.
Their customer service apparently drove a relative of mine to Apple.

Also some of the cheaper Nokia ones have a great number of problems:

  • SIM card not detected after Restart
  • Some bad sensor causing Google Maps to show you facing the wrong direction.
    Alright, it's just 2, but happens enough to make me regret.

Some high end model had its LCD liquidate somehow, without a visible crack and was not covered in warranty.
