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

Physical keyboards.
I loathe typing on my phone. My texts are unreadable a vast majority of the time
Wow, I had forgotten about how much I loved these. My favorite phone ever was the HTC G2. LOVED that keyboard!
My wife had a super cool phone that would slide up to reveal a full keyboard. Really slick. Her favorite phone to this day, her Nexus 5 was a close second.
Edit: Samsung gravity 3
I use thumb-key to make typing on the phone more accurate. It works pretty nicely
Is that an app?
Yep. It's actually made by a lemmy dev.

Any videos of use? And why is it 20 bucks in the play store?
Idk why its $20 in the play store, get it from f-droid.
