Many have no BT or 3.5mm jack.
All phones have BT and some good new ones also have 3.5mm jack.
I tried TTS on an Android eink. Not as flexible or reliable as Pocketbook on a current or near current Android phone. The eink Android is usually older and more limited even when same old version as a phone (such as Android 8).

I have not tried TTS on any of my phones so I am not even aware if they already have a TTS engine installed, but if they don't then I still have the same question. What is a good and not expensive TTS engine that will work on Android?
None of my recent phones, including some very expensive models, have a 3.5mm jack. They all now seem to require BT earbuds for sound. Fortunately I have a lot of decent BT earbuds but because the earbuds will not generally pair with more than one device I now have too many of them ...
