For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

    Pretty much everything the Galaxy S5 had

    • Notification LED
    • IR blaster
    • Replaceable battery
    • Headphone jack
    • Heart rate monitor
    • SD card slot

    I currently use a FP3 which has 4 out of the 6 features above, which I feel is the best we’ll get right now.

    Admittedly the Heart rate monitor is more of a gimmick nowadays, especially that it’s standard and automatic on most smartwatches and sports watches. Back then when stuff like the Sony Ericsson LiveView and LG W100 watches were popular, they did not have heart rate sensing built in

      IR blaster! I miss that feature. When my wife was sick in the hospital they had a TV with 10 stupid channels. But I found that the TV had a USB post. So I used a flash drive and my phone as the remote to let her watch TV shows while she was stuck in bed.
