Replaceable battery
AUX plug
Expandable storage by SD card
Did I say replaceable battery already?
Edit: oh and non-edged screens (the roundings on the side, don't know the official name... But it sucks and almost all flagship phones have them, or at least when I bought mine 3 years ago, don't know about now tbh)
Don't forget about the IR blaster.
Most useful gimmick on a phone ever. I never had to deal with an annoying TV in public throughout most of the 2010s. It was nice; it was one of my most-used features and I miss it dearly.
OnePlus still offers this one on some of their phones.
Unfortunately I'm all-in on foldables so my options are even more limited. I don't think the OnePlus Open has an IR blaster.
Plus I really, really like Good Lock, which means I'm even further limited in my choices because it's a Samsung exclusive.
Can confirm. Currently rocking a OnePlus 12 with an IR blaster. Only sucky part is the app doesn't let you put in custom codes or tweak the layout, so one of the old TVs I have set up doesn't have a freaking number pad. Suuuper annoying to not have a number pad with digital channels.
Not my oneplus 9pro sadly
Fairphone, Samsung Xcover.
Rounded screens have mostly fallen out of style. I kinda like them tbh
They're only nice if you can afford to run without a case. All curved screen cases suck and add unnecessary bulk for questionable protection.
In this economy???
