By midrange I meant Something more like A35/A55/M55, etc. So upper midrange hardware. Moto doesn’t include a jack or even expandable storage on edge 40 Neo, edge 40, edge 50 pro.
As for Chinese phones the most prominent even Xiaomi has stopped including them in some of their phones. Not that I want to buy them. My software experience has not been great with Chinese OEMs.
So, if I want good software(Oneui, NothingOS, Moto HelloUI, etc) support and quality my choices are slim to zero.
I have made my peace with wireless unfortunately I don’t want to do the same with micro sdcard. But, even that’s fading in so many phones…
