You want an Xperia. No removable battery (there are almost no “normal” phones with removable batteries) and instead of a popup camera you get a regular front camera in a tiny bezel (so assuming you don’t want a stupid hole/notch in the display that’s what you want). But they are overall solid phones with excellent DACs and very clean Android. And it’s still a mainstream, non-Chinese brand.
The only disadvantage is price, but they target a niche audience. If you can take a deal with headphones or such it’s very much worth it.
Yup. Removable batteries are more rare in flagships than headphone jacks. Currently rocking a Zenfone 6, my next one will be an Xperia - as long as they don’t mess it up by removing one of the critical features. (I’m still salty about the removal of the notification led.)
