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

Notification LED
IR blaster
Replaceable battery
Headphone jack
Heart rate monitor
SD card slot

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

What is FP3?

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. 👍
