Struggling to find a phone that meets my criteria!

I want a phone with a pretty good camera, has at least 6'7" screen, will take an esim and has a headphone jack (I'd rather not have to use wired earphones but I've tried  2 different 'ear buds' but they fall out too easily and are uncomfortable but you can't return them so I'm not risking buying anymore). . Probably new phones are more than I'm prepared to pay so happy to buy refurb/renewed. I'm used to android I've got a Samsung A32 atm but it doesn't take esim and the camera quality isn't good enough.

I was thinking up to £250 as I don't mind refurbished/renewed. That Motorola doesn't seem to have a headphone jack and has a smaller screen than i want

Don’t forget you can buy USB-c wired headphones - or permanently leave a small jack/usbc adaptor on your existing headphones.

6.55 to 6.7 is less than 4mm diagonally, you won't notice.  More important is the pixel density which gives crisper text.

Samsung Galaxy s21 Ultra should be possible under £250 used

If the headphone jack becomes a blocker, there is an alternative to earbuds. I have Shokz bone conduction headphones, which connect with Bluetooth. They are ‘open ear’, so only suitable if you want a ‘radio on in the room’ experience. I prefer them - you never have to take them out because you need to listen to something/someone, you can be active including bending over in the house and garden and they won’t fall out, and they’re hard to lose.

Make sure you buy a phone that is going to be getting at a minimum security updates for the length of time that you want to own the phone.

As people have mentioned some phones doe wired headphones over USB C and you can get adapters to phono sockets. Downside is you can't charge and listen at the same time unless the adapter is also a splitter and these can be hit and miss.
