Samsung aren't saying that they will charge for Galaxy AI feature but the fine print says the following:

"Galaxy AI features will be provided for free until the end of 2025 on supported Samsung Galaxy devices. Different terms may apply for AI features provided by third parties."

Samsung lost me as a customer when they removed the audio jack and SD card slot - I'm typing this on a S10+ that I've loved for years, but my next phone is going to be made by someone else, so they can shove the whole AI crap and yet another damn subscription so deep that it tickles their tonsils from the other side.

I think Sony is the only flagship phone left that still has minijack. IDK about SD
SD is not much of an issue IMO, with newer phones being available with 512 MB now, even in mid range.
You can get wired USB headphones, if it's because you want the wire to not lose them and to not need to charge headphones too. But I haven't tried it, it may suck.

I wanted the Sony, but they only give 2 years of security updates which is abysmal. That killed it for me

Yeah, it's not cool. However, the Xperia phones up to series iii all have LineageOS releases, which can extend the life, and I'm hoping it comes to the later series as those get to EOL. They absolutely should have better official support though.
