I'll like to add some things most people might not remember. Really miss features from old smart phones.

  1. Alarms that still go off when the phone (not just screen) is turned completely off.
  2. Ir remote function which was first available since Nokia 3230 days (with third party app).

A couple of Chinese flagships still have a IR. But "alway on" alarm is really frustrating sometimes.

There are higher end cameras that uses microsd. Prefer to store images on card (easily retrieve wejn phone breaks and eliminate date change when copy paste) + cloud. Issue is most consumers buy slow cards, then complain phone lags. Ad card removed for the sake of 99% of consumers who don't know how to properly use one or test a genuine and card

You can simply Googling for the speeds of internal phone memory these days. Even the best SD is a years behind.

IR Blaster please! Why oh WHY cant my phone also be a universal remote?! It already senses/connects to every stinkin source it pleases. I should be able to control my stinkin tv/player/sound-bar whenever the stink i want! ...just sayin :-)

Almost every Chinese flagship has a IR.

We miss real competition between companies that pushed each company to be more innovative instead of companies doing the same things and telling us about these small changes using a ton of words! Ex: no chargers (apple, Samsung, google) headphone jacks, phone models look the same as previous years, and more! I said all that to say bring blackberry back! Lol
