    Phones like these have features that power users love like headphone jack, expandable storage, removable battery, and repairability improvements. They also have really good software support too and a lot of OS options, such as both mainline Linux support and Android. And on top of that, a 10+ year support lifetime so you can really get the most out of your hardware. It might be $1000+ USD more expensive than the alternatives, but the freedom, added functionality, and longevity it gives you makes it really worth it!

      Phones like what? The phone in question here (signature 27) has none of those features. Sounds like you might be referring to something like the fairphone, but even that dropped the headphone jack.

      Ironically, the only phones Motorola kept the sd card and headphone jack on are their low end g series, currently selling for around $400.
