chop chop flashlight is the very best feature of the Moto series
Honorable mention to twist twist camera
And to twist for switching between main and selfie camera.
For real. I moved over to Samsung a while back and I miss choppy choppy light light.
And shake for camera
It's been six years since I switched from an X2 to a pixel 2 and I still miss the flashlight chop
I still chop chop the Teracube I've had for a while and then go "oh yeah..."
I had two moto phones back to back and then switched to the pixel. Can't tell you how many times I tried to turn on the flashlight this way before realization kicks in.
Should be noted it's fairly simple to do this on any Android phone with Tasker.

task - torch toggleI went to pixel because the last couple of moto phones were just meh, but chop chop flashlight was the greatest thing ever
