For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

Lots of phones still have those. Notably all Redmi phones have a SD card slot, and Redmi still sells new phones with IR blaster, and most have a headphone jack too.
I've looked into those phones, the specs look nice but they don't work in my region, unfortunately rural areas of the US don't have Tower support for those style models(yay refusal to upgrade any sort of infrastructure). many of my friends that are overseas have stated that they love the phones though.
AFAIK, Xiaomi doesn't sell anything in USA, by purpose.
Is it intentional? I figured it was because the US still predominantly uses the CDMA standard where none of their phones support the CDMA standard as a whole in favor of GSM and LTE the rest of the world uses
Sony xperia should work. Though it doesn't have IR blaster :/
