The holy grail / unicorn of a phone would have:

  • no notch / punch hole
  • a headphone jack
  • an sd card slot
  • nfc
  • a proximity sensor

This currently results in Sony phones and one Ulefone one with outdated Android and a lack of updates. Sony's phone branch is currently dying and it's very much possible there won't be any new phones next year. They released a single flagship this year which they recalled because of issues.
Next year phones might get a bit more interesting because of the new EU regulations coming into effect this June but almost no phones have been released just since then.

I have no idea what I'll get but for now my current phone (Asus Zenfone 6, from 2019) just refuses to die.
