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

I miss IR blaster on my phones, so handy.
There are lots of phones with micro SD and headphone jacks.
My Motorola G60s has either dual sim or sim with SD and a headohone jack. Also has a 120hz screen. Just missing the ol IR blaster
Yeah but they're all the lower end phones, all the major flagships removed the features three or four versions ago, I don't want to have to sacrifice camera or screen quality in order to have features that should be built into phones by default
I'm going to say that today, even on lower-end phones, the screen, processor and camera are all pretty decent.
I have a Motorola G31, which cost about 200€ one year ago, when I got it. It has a Micro SD Card Slot and a headphone jack. The screen is plenty good (1440p,60hz) (why would you need 120hz or 4k on a phone) And the camera is also quite nice. It has no fancy features, but it takes pictures and that's all I need.
From my perspective, flagship phones are impractical and overpriced to say the least.
120hz is amazing for scrolling through feeds, it is absolutely night and day. It is like turning off the annoying motion blur in a video game.
Ive been using 144/165hz monitors for years now and it's jarring going back to 60 hz
I only spent $290 Cdn after shipping and taxes for my moto g60s. I 100% agree, flagship phones are unnessesary.
How about, I don't want to sacrifice features that should be built into phones by default for camera or screen quality!
Then dont go for the flagship phones?
What does a $1000 phone do that my $250 phone cant?
Shit this POS im using can even record at 240 fps
That's really that is why I went with the phone I have, out of the phones that I looked at all of them were a downgrade for the screen, and generally camera. Or lacked the tower support in my area since we barely have LTE
