    I can get onboard with (micro) sd card slots. But honestly I’m fine with not having a headphone jack. I never used it anyway. And wireless earbuds are way more convenient anyway because you don’t have a wire tethering your phone to your ears.

    Edit: I should add that GrapheneOS is way more privacy-oriented and secure than LineageOS.
