Is there a phone that still has all these features?
If a phone hit all of these, and added 6 years of guaranteed (timely) OEM OS updates, I would pay upwards of $2,000+.
OEMs hit me up - I’ve got a credit card ready to go right now.
FairPhone 5 is doing 8 years of software updates with 5 versions of Android updates and 3 more years of security updates.
Not small and no headphone jack, unfortunately.

No notification LED either, locked to /e/ in the US for keeping warranty, no buy.
Fairphone is damn close in spirit though, especially in the EU market.
What does locked to /e/ mean?
“Can I revert to Google stock Android?
Technically yes, but note that this will void your warranty and support with us”
I wouldn’t give them my money entirely because of this one line, personally.

Especially the custom roms.
Xiaomi has all of these, but custom roms are hit and miss.
Xiaomi smartphones are such a pita... Everyone I know who owns one is glad to never buy them again.
True, Xiaomi software is bloat incarnate, but I'm hoping it becomes good with a custom ROM.
There's nothing wrong with a Xiaomi or one of their subbrands, it's just byos
Fairphone
Not small. No 3.5 mm.
im fairly sure fairphone is getting rid of the audio jack though :-(
What!
A phone for ease of repair removes the jack?
Darn...
Asus zenfone unfortunately doesn't have a removable battery but good to go on everything else
