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

Wait, Galaxy phones no longer have a SD slot??

Even their $120 tablet has that. Why the fuck doesn't a $1k phone have it?? 💩

Pretty much all high end phones outside of Sony have omitted the headphone jack and SD card slot.

Samsung low end phone and low end phones in general still have it for example the galaxy a54 has it.

The reason why is they want you to spend more on storage upgrades.

And then they completely bork the file system with separate storage for every app. Nobody needs a dozen different folders for storing pictures, with no way to combine them.

A54 user here. I see no difference to upgrade to flagship except the camera

The higher tier A series phones are pretty solid if you really want a Samsung anyway. S series is overkill for most people.
