Manufactured entirely in China and no headphone jack, that's a pass for me.

I'm curious to know your current phone that passes that test.

My current phone isn't asking me to make a lot of sacrifices for the sake of "ethics".

I am willing to make many of them, but the least requirement for me is at least a good effort of moving off China for manufacturing (Ideally EU, of course, but we all know that's unrealistic).

I already have picked up standalone music player to deal with missing 3.5mm jack, I also have picked up a small camera with a pancake lens that I carry daily to account for not having great camera in phone, but I'm not willing to spend high mid-tier phone money on an entry level hardware if it is fully manufactured in China, sorry.

I used to run Xperia's, despite horrid software, but now I'm on Google Pixel for the lack of better options.
