People always talk about what they miss about older android phones. But what are some features older generation Android phones had that you are happy are not industry practice anymore?

inb4 3.5mm jack or expandable storage


For me, it'd probably have to be resistive screens. Words cannot describe how painful it was to use anything that had a resistive touchscreen, even good hardware inside was for naught when you had a resistive touchscreen with the need to use a hard stylus for.

Thank good for real touchscreens....

"Extra Dim" is a godsend

Title. As much as I have many issues with Android 12 (including but not limited to padding issues and wasted space, Material You colour limitations, weird "static" animations, etc) the new Extra Dim feature is my new favourite button when I'm in bed at night.
