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.

Happens a lot: if the more ethical choice isn't perfect, I might as well stick with the very unethical choices.

This isn't binary, the virtue signaled "ethical" choice does not offset the things you have to give up for it.

If you don't care about phone manufacturing being basically completely in China, then all power to you, but as I live in country that has been illegally trade embargo-ed by China just five years ago, I do care about this a lot.
