Samsung, LG, Sony & HTC have the 3.5mm jack (I believe the latter 2 lost it temporarily along with customers don't know if HTC will recover especially after selling out to Google for $1.1B).
Some people seem to think that 3.5mm jack is instead of the latest Bluetooth 5, or it can't have the IP68 dust/water proof (up to 1.5m for 30 mins), when clearly they have BOTH.
I prefer the choice of both, especially as wired is still better quality than wireless & there's zero latency.
I know that recent wireless headphones have improved alot in sound quality, to the point where it's actually worth getting a pair, I'll get a pair whenever I need/ want, like the Sony WH-1000XM3.
Notice these headphones include the 3.5mm jack for whenever needed, "The headphones come in a nicer looking and better feeling case, which manages to fit a 3.5mm audio cable, the USB-C cable and the plug adapter for in-flight use inside.":

I like being able to plug my phone into my car stereo or HiFi amplifier using the 3.5mm jack to L&R RCA's, & charge my phone at the same time.
If anyone hasn't tried hooking up your phone to their HiFi, they should, it's awesome.
Last December 2017 GSMA did a Weekly poll: Do you still use a 3.5mm audio jack?:
https://m.gsmarena.com/weekly_poll_3_5mm_audio_jack-news-28641.php
69% voted for 'I do, wouldn't buy a phone without one':
https://m.gsmarena.com/weekly_poll_results_the_3_5mm_headphone_jack-news-28740.php
If they repeat this poll it may be less overall (as some don't know what they're missing)
but any audiophiles on Samsung, LG, Sony & HTC it will be more.
In September 2016 when Apple launched the iPhone 7 without a 3.5mm jack, 46% (the majority) of their users weren't very happy about it, and said that they wouldn't get the iPhone 7:

iPhone hacker Scotty Allen found that there was space to put headphone jack back (29 Aug 2018):

So many people bashing Samsung Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X saying both of them are unfinished product. Well IMO, both of them are great phones and easily buried the Royole Flexpai under the soil
