I can't believe I've been trying to find a new phone that meets my requirements for *a year* and I still can't find one. ☹

@LouisIngenthron Very good camera and an SDHC expansion slot. Strong preference for an unlockable bootloader because I've never had a non-rooted phone and I think being unable to root it would put a crimp in my workflow.

Last year I decided that I was willing to compromise the SDHC expansion slot requirement (☹) if I could get 1TB of space, but after a year I have not been able to find a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 1TB with an Exynos chipset (the only kind you can root).

@pganssle Have you considered just buying a digital camera separate from your phone? With those requirements, it would probably be a lot easier to find two specialized bits of hardware instead of one super-specialized mashup.

@LouisIngenthron That's not a real solution to the problem for any number of reasons which should be obvious.

Also, I've been able to meet these requirements (and more!) since 2008. It's tragic the direction computing has taken ☹
