Hmm. Again without 3.5mm jack. I love my A52s and really have no idea what I’ll get next since this makes the A5x series phone effectively 100 € (or 20 %) more expensive for me. But what other is there to choose in this price range than some Chinese phones…
That’s the thing. Samsung is already quite bad with price/performance ratio against Chinese brands. But Sony is whole another level. If headphone jack & no China were my only requirements, I’d buy some low-end Samsung. But I also want some performance, decent camera with OIS… Sony for the price around 400 € doesn’t even record 60 fps video and also I’m not sure I could tolerate 60 Hz display again. HMD is Chinese, of course.
Current situation is I’ll just use A52s until it dies (I have it over 2 years now, recently got latest Android and battery still generally lasts 2 days of light use and a whole day of geocaching I like to do)… And then I’ll have to probably get a BT headphones with a next phone…
