If I could get a Motorola Droid 4 with a modern processor that would be peak.
I miss smaller sizes. I’m currently on the cheapest phone my carrier offers after my last one broke, and it’s still way bigger than it needs to be. Shit literally slowly pulls my pants down if I have it in my pocket.
I miss the fingerprint reader on the back. I don’t know which brain genius moved that function to the front but it was so much more convenient on the back.
I miss wired headphones. Bluetooth can’t go five minutes without cutting out for a couple of seconds, and while I’ve tried to use a usb-c to 3.5mm dongle that adds an extra failure point compared to just having the port. And if phones are going to be these giant bricks in your pocket anyway they might as well bring it back.
And last but certainly not least I miss a physical landscape keyboard. There are a few gimmicky ass-phones that offer this feature but they all suck for different reasons. Swype is fine but I spend as much time correcting typos and incorrectly predicted words as I do typing, plus the loss of screen real estate to the software keyboard can make some sites and apps totally unusable in landscape mode.
