The "bare minimum for a non-disposable, consumer friendly, half environmentally responsible phone" starter pack.
Also the custom ROM ability should not be merely a bonus. IMO it needs to be legally mandatory even above standardised charging connectors. It costs effectively nothing to implement because the base OS and general architecture supports it by default, the manufacturer simply needs to not disable it, and it is by far the most important thing for keeping a device from becoming unusable and possibly even a cybersecurity risk with age. Also just in principle, I paid for the hardware I should be able to put my own software on it.
yup imagine not being able to run anything you want on your own device. it should be mandatory
RIP power user geared phones
Everything Android is now tooled for the hyper casual iPhone leaning demographic since they are the majority.
I don't understand why that one has gone away. Like, the 3mm audio jack made waterproofing difficult and was big. But that doesn't apply to the notification LED, does it?
I really miss that feature because now I have no indicator of a notification, short of the major battery drain of setting the screen to always be on. I remember even customizing the colour so that I could tell when I had important notifications. Now I often have to double tap my phone just to check if I have any notifications. So dumb.
I've been an android fanboy since the beginning, but I'm actually considering iphone 15 as my next phone because of the usb-c.
That was the note 3 for me except for the compact size. I had a 10,000 mah upgraded battery in it. Thing was a brick but could last a 2-3 days on a full charge, cant get even one fully day on my oneplus 8t :/
I don't like the 3.5mm headphone jack only because I find the default manufacture DACamp to be pretty mid usually
