Galaxy Ace in 2017. It could, very well, do absolutely nothing at that time ever since the Android Market and GMS for Gingerbread were shut off and all the apks I can sideload are discontinued and outdated versions, some of which absolutely not working.
Although I love the Pixel 8's OS and design and want to love it Unfortunately $699 for midrange performance aint worth the money for me. I can find a used S23 for $650 with better value hardware-wise but the thing stopping me is OneUI and bloat.
Plug directly into the USB-C if your earphones has a built in DAC, otherwise your device has to support analog audio through USB.
Just embrace the external DACs. It allows you to upgrade your audio experience anytime, unlike with the jack where the DAC in your phone may be pretty eh at times
I have been using the Apple USB-C DAC ever since both my Poco F1's and my Ideapad's jack died, and enjoyed the significant upgrade the DAC brought to the sound quality.
Oppo Reno 2. Has everything you asked except for the removable battery. My aunt's been using for 4 years and the cameras are really good. Cons are: EOL, it's pretty old and has ColorOS if you do mind.
