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...

Well, you can install custom roms on chinease phones (xiaomi only those before hyperos) then you still have some privacy.
