The Moondrop MIAD 01 is one of the most distinctive Android devices of 2024 thus far. It has a 4.4mm headphone jack to go with the more conventional 3.5mm type. Furthermore, it seems it might be as appealing to teardown enthusiasts as well as audiophiles, and may, therefore, also be easier to repair than most modern smartphones.

Iirc, removeable batteries make phones harder to break. If you drop them, the back cover and battery come off, reducing the shock on the display.

Breaking a modern screen by dropping the phone on a flat surface is not that easy. What can break more often is the electrical circuit between the battery and the phone (causing it to force shutdown that can lead to potential software instabilities), the back cover and sometimes the display flat cable thing
