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
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
All that while being water resistant, let’s not forget! What an amazing phone
What do you mean water resistant? Phone with replaceable battery and headphone jack can’t be water resistant! /s
IR blaster was the shit. Back then, there was an app called beep and go (I think) that held the barcodes for your loyalty cards. For someone that collected them like baseball cards, it was really handy.
Anyway, Samsung actually had the ability to transmit the barcode via the IR blaster which some scanners could read if they couldn’t read the barcode on the phone.
It was awesome!
I agree that the heart rate monitor was a bit of a gimmick though.
I used to fuck with friends with my “universal remote”, and of course use my phone whenever i misplaced my own I miss that stupid feature the most
What is FP3?
I presume it’s Fairphone 3?
Fairphone 3
Ah OK.
Fairphone 3. I have one as well, but upgraded it to the +model by installing a better camera
Wow, cool that you can do that. 👍
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.
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?? 💩
