It does have an SD card slot at least:

It actually does have a microSD card reader according to the specs sheet. Sadly no headphone jack, which would make this really appealing.
It actually does have a micro sd slot. But no headphone jack, most phones these days don't. So your alternative to a repairable phone with no headphone jack is a non-repairable phone that also does not have a headphone jack.
it has a SD-Card Slot. and i personally don't care much for a Headphone Jack ever since USB-C-Headphones became a thing
what modern phone does?
Xperia 5 V
Cheapest Sony phone is $999 USD. Spending all that money for a headphone jack? No thanks lol
You could just get a $500 midrange (or even cheaper phones if you want) and get a cheap $30 wireless esrbuds
You get more than a headphone jack for more money, the X5V is a much better all round device than any $500 phone.
But ignoring that oversight for a moment. Just because you can settle for some cheap $30 earbuds doesnt mean people who want good audio should have to, why defend the removal of such a useful port. It was only done initially to try to sell their overpriced wireless options.
Every phone, especially flagships should have a 3.5mm port and without question an SD card slot.
Sony phones have like 3 years support maximum and no one develops custom operating systems for them. They are dogshit value.
Im not arguing for that specific phone, but for the inclusion of good features that were only removed in the name of profit.
