My iPhone SE died and I just bought an Xperia X Compact. Has a headphone jack :)

My main criteria for a phone are: small, has a headphone jack, and isn't a low-end POS. That leaves an extremely limited set of options.

I'm dismayed that there isn't much choice if you're looking for a phone that can be comfortably operated with one hand and fits easily in a pocket. Make an S9 mini, Samsung.

I got the XZ1 Compact. I love it. It's faster and smaller than iPhone X and doesn't overheat. USB-C with QuickCharge 3.0 takes 1h to get to 85% charge then battery last 2 days and 8h of screen usage.

It has backlight bleeding around the ambient light sensor. I can't replace it, but I can live with it.

GMSArena reported Sony is working on a Compact with 5-inch screen and 18:9 aspect ratio. This will be the perfect phone to own.

I'm the same. I had an Xperia Z5 Compact but it was terrible - would frequently overheat and slow the phone to a crawl. Sony insisted there was nothing wrong with it.

Samsung actually does have a not bad small device - the A3: https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_a3-6762.php. Problem is that it doesn't work with the US LTE bands I need it to. Right now I'm waiting to see what the iPhone SE 2 looks like...

Is there a reason you didn't stick with the SE? Appears to fulfil all your criteria, but I guess you might have experienced some problems...

Touchscreen went wonky after about a year. Plus, all of the iOS 11 issues were infuriating. Apple doesn't do regression testing, apparently.
