I miss being able to have the same widget on your lock screen that you have on your home screen. It just looked better that way versus a basic widget for lock screens.

Wasn't that on lollipop? Great feature, but then again I remember some sites saying those things were gimmicks

Samsung used to have an Auto-rotate feature where the device would use the front facing camera to check your orientation before rotating the display whenever the accelerometer detected rotation. The device never rotated the screen when you didn't want it to and it worked beautifully... Now I have to have my s22 in manual with the little rotation button popping up to trigger rotation myself as Auto-rotate is so unpredictable.

It was in the gimmicks that sites said Samsung used and made touchwiz to heavy

Hate me if you want but touchwiz motion controls were lovely!

I thought it was on Jelly Bean or even KitKat. It was on my Note 3, which I had from January 2014-November 2014, but I don't remember it being on my Note 5. I'm trying to find the pic I had it on.

I'd love to see a Palm Treo-style phone with modern specs/hardware.

Really?

I've been wondering about that... I tried an old Nokia E71 a couple of months ago, and the keyboard wasn't great. I type faster and more accurately on a virtual one... Maybe it's our memory playing nostalgic tricks on us?

I’ve always typed faster on physical keyboards, with more accuracy. I still own a few BB10, BBOS, and BlackBerry Android devices that I fire up just to type on the physical keyboard.

Also the ability to move apps to the card like we used to be able to do.

I'm doing it as I write this on my Note 20 ultra.

My first thought was a removable battery, but I miss dual,front-facing speakers more.
