Do you have a Samsung Galaxy phone? Specifically a Samsung Galaxy A14? The latest software update sets it to automatically record all your calls, and you can't disable it. I don't know if this is the case with all Samsungs or all Galaxy models, but it happened to me, my father, and my sister. We all have different models. I spent a half hour with Samsung support, and they finally suggested I download Google Phone. I did, and problem solved.

The specifications sound excellent, particularly regarding the size and the physical keyboard. But my main question is will it come with Talkback, or will there be a way to install it and other things, such as Seeing AI, a browser and an mp3 player? Some of us want a keyboard but also full functionality!

I live in America and am on Mint Mobile. I am totally blind and use an external keyboard. I own a Galaxy A15, and while it works well, it's simply too large and wide for my needs, especially when I need to hold it to use Seeing AI (for scanning printed materials). My specifications shouldn't be too difficult to find, and yet, they are.

Android 14 or 15. Technically, I can go as low as 12, but I would really rather not.
Upgradable if possible.
Comes with Talkback pre-installed (or able to have someone install it). I have also heard of MicroG, an alternative to Google services that allows such apps to be installed, so that could work as well.
No larger than the iPhone SE 2022, unless by a tiny amount. Smaller is fine.
Headphone jack.

I am considering the Jelly Max, the Fonepia Q10, and the Minimal Phone. Has anyone here tried any of these in the United States? I don't think the Max has a headphone jack, but as much as I want one, I would be willing to sacrifice it if necessary. I know almost nothing about the Q10. The Minimal contains a real qwerty keyboard, so I wouldn't need to carry one. I don't care what they do with the screen, since I can't see it.

Am I missing any other good phones? I would like to keep this undder $350 at the most, preferably under $300 (Minimal might cost more, but could be worth it).

Researchers convert old #phones into 'tiny #datacenters' — deploy one #underwater for marine monitoring
This will reduce #ewaste while making edge devices more accessible and affordable. What researchers did was get four old #smartphones and remove batteries to reduce the risk of leaks and contamination. Then 3D-printed casings and holders that will host the devices and custom circuitry to regulate power. Make it easier to reuse the base and replace phones if they break.
