I think that some Oppo’s have removable batteries, and I know EU law comes into effect in 2027 where all phones sold in the region, have to have removable batteries, also the batteries have to be accessible for years after the product leaves the market.
I don’t think the X9 has a removable battery, and while it is easy to remove, you couldn’t just swap it out for another, which is a pity, even though it has a large capacity.
Which is crazy, because if they want their phones to be professional photographers everyday camera, then they should act like photographers cameras.
Not the best options, but seemingly the only options for now.
Or an alternative option is Immich. Self host it and supply your own storage. But still requires network access to transfer, so if you’re somewhere remote, not a great option.
I outright refuse to buy a phone without a headphone jack, removable storage, and ip rating. My current phone is an Xperia 5v and I am gonna hold onto that until I am forced out of it by destruction or loss I guess.
And I don’t think every phone is required to have a removable battery, if they can prove it doesn’t drop below 80% capacity over so many years or whatever. I think that takes Apple out of the requirement for example

As for SD cards, you can buy USB sticks that you can plug into your phone and transfer the photos that way, Or the same type of sticks with card readers.

They make these little storage blocks you can attach to your phone as well
