I want a small screen (about 5"), headphone jack, and unlockable bootloader. That's all.
SD Card also. dont forget the SD Card.
Hotswappable batteries and an option for a keyboard would be nice too. Virtual keyboards seem like they're getting shittier (at least on Android) and they never matched the accuracy of a regular keyboard.
I agree with you but also have you tried Heliboard, FlorisBoard, or FUTOKeyboard, Theyre all very decent FOSS* keyboard projects. I like HeliBoard myself.
*FUTOKb is Source available
Florisboard is pretty great
I use Heliboard myself and can second that recommend.
I just started using FUTO and it seems pretty solid
I have not. Thanks for the suggestions!
For my own use, I don't care much, but I agree in theory. My 128gb Pixel 4A has 32gb free and I do not actively manage space on it. Android's handling of SD cards is kind of terrible, making them mostly useful for media files. If I did much photography or videography with my phone, I'd want this more.
