Sorry to say, I don't care about any of those things. And neither do most other people. Changable batteries, maybe, for the environment. But I've never used a phone long enough for this to matter because unoptimized software starts crippling phones after 4 years anyway. I also barely use 128gb, so an SD card isn't important. The Bluetooth delay on headphones can get a little annoying but I strongly prefer it to dealing with wires.
I'm one of the annoying Linux advocates on Lemmy so I know how it is, but the things you listed are unfortunately becoming more niche expectations, despite how much they come up here and on
Larger battery capacity and fast charging though? Yes, please. I got a new OnePlus with 100W charging and will never go back to 35 or whatever my previous phone was at. This having 68 is a good middle ground.

This is absolute bollocks. Unless you are buying dogshit budget phones, they all continue to run fine after 4 years. I have phones from 2017 and 2018 that continue to operate without major issue today. Until very recently most Android phones weren't even receiving feature updates beyond 4 years so I suspect you've just completely fabricated this story to justify your upgrades.
If someone offers the slimmest phone, I have some doubts regarding structural integrity. Especially, the way I (unintentionally) often treat my phone, it'll probably bend or break within weeks.
Military grade impresses everyone but those who served.
In the mind of a soldier military grade is the cheapest, mass produced item that barely does the job, can be abandoned on the battlefield without regrets 😅
Is that a protected term where you live? In Germany a lot of products, including the cheapest and crappiest ones, are advertised as military grade and that doesn't give any indication on quality or durability.
I've been realizing over the past weeks that phone weight in my hand significantly influences how I type, so I would indeed like a lighter phone. This one does catch my eye.
The performance of phones are almost irrelevant these days for most people. What matters is how they look, their battery time and if they have a good user experience without forced shitty apps.
