These days,the word flagship is a very hollow word , all of these new phones other than the more modern chipsets and cameras are in a lot of ways a piss poor effort imo. So many features we no longer have , especially on galaxys , not forgetting the heart rate sensor , swap out battery’s , , myst pay, and we have not even mentioned the accessories that always came with smart phone that are now much more expensive and user pays only.

This was a trip down memory lane. Something I miss since switching to a new phone is the option on my old OnePlus 7 Pro where I could choose the type of gesture navigation. I really wish there was an option to be able to at least disable the left side back button gesture. As it interferes with the side menu action in lots of apps still. Which makes using your phone one handed much more difficult.

Yes. I have the Oneplus 6 and ever since they updated it to Android 11 and added those left-screen swipe to return I never used it. Never liket it. I prefer 10x the bottom gestures where I can swipe up to go home, swipe up from the corner left or corner right to go back and swipe up from the middle and hold to open the recent apps. Also the previous app swipe is so damn useful

These big companies really are giving us the shaft .

These bring back memories. I have actually decided to get an iPhone for my next phone just to try it out with an iwatch. The main reason is because android just isn't as cool to me anymore. Used to have so much customization and cool features, now it seems like android is gradually moving to be like iOS being easy to use and only good at necessities. I also hate that android can give up on certain features just for apple to bring it back, then android brings it back too. Ie Google wallet you could pay with your phone, android slowly dropped it, apple launches Apple pay years later, then android comes back with android pay, and now it's called Gpay. It always seems like Google and android don't want to set the new standard like apple does.

Nice video, reminds me of some good things we are missing. About 13: I'm using a motorola phone for a year. Chop-Chop-to-flash is useful sometimes but is annoying sometimes, like when i'm running slowly/jogging, the chopchop motion is created and the flashlight turns on/off few times. About 16: Those physical buttons were nice, but many people don't like them, as a result they are gone. It makes me sad, because I think they were much more reliable. Also on screen buttons don't function properly till now in some softwares (like they cannot be hidden in any pdf-viewer's landscape mode). I think on screen buttons costs much more than they benefit.

I'll miss it though used it almost for a decade now) 2. Do Not Disturb Profiles like priority, total silence from quick panel ( I used it too frequently but they removed it in Android 9) Also they removed hamburger menu from settings app in Android 8 3. Sim enable/disable option was removed from Android 7 which is really useful sometimes. 4. They removed clear cache option in storage settings (it now works with google Files app though) 5. And many more I can't remember at this point as they've removed it years ago

I get that you (and many other people) like the notification LED, but what i don't get is the reasoning that you can know what is happening by looking at the colour of the LED. Maybe if you have only 2-3 apps sending you notifications it's fine, but how do you differentiate the several blue apps (fb, messenger, messages, twitter, outlook, calendar, etc)? Or any other colour for that matter. With the AoD, you can see the exact icons at a glance a decide if they are relevant much more easily.

Make no mistake , none of this about not being able to fit them in , and everything about making more profit , and we did not even mention they can now upsell the customers some expensive buds or headphones , charger .

Super status bar doesn't work that well. And the adb command to disable heads up doesn't work. And I believe that you can still do chop chop with tasker.

sad most new phones are dropping such great features. My recent switch to s22 Ultra was quite underwhelming coming from a Note 9. No more LED light, SD card, headphone jack, MST, health sensors and more. Price goes up yet features are removed.

Agreed mate . Still use my beloved note 9 :) , the note 9 and S10+ was the last of the good galaxys with all the features . I also was underwhelmed with the direction samsung took , and i hoped they may have just dropped the ball briefly , but every year samsung just gets worse imo , and you could now argue that samsung has become even worse money grabber than apple IMO . I also have a pro max , and when my beloved note 9 dies , i think i will stay with the iphone. I do still miss old model galaxy features on it , but new galaxys dont have them anyway , and the iphone has the better flat screen , a good chipset regardless what country you are in , and it has the gold standard for updates .

Good video. I definitely miss some of these features. There were one or two that I never really knew about nor paid much attention to I guess when they were out so I don't really miss them but I definitely miss things such as the MicroSD card support and a notification light. One of the old Samsung Notes even had a temperature sensor in it work it let you know the indoor room temp. I believe. I also meant eye scanner on older Notes. It felt more secure and it was pretty cool o felt.

Droid Razr had a cool power sleep animation, it was like an old tv turning off. Also heart sensors on the older galaxies were cool. SD card slots not really being a thing anymore hurts, im running out of space on my 256 gig phone

I miss the old form factor that pre-Android Ice Cream Sandwich phones utilized. Not just the physical or capacitive back, menu, home, and search buttons, but also the inclusion of a physical keyboard. Sure, they were small and didn't feel all that great, especially on the Motorola Droid A855, but at least I can type without making a whole lot of mistakes because I can feel the individual keys.

I feel the smaller requests here aren't in aosp itself because aosp is mostly supposed to be barebones and lightweight. So others can add features as they like. However pixels don't have any customisation for no reason

With holding down the navigation buttons not only could you do split screen, but the other one opened a 3 dot menu for easier one handed use. How about when app icons were there true shape before copying CrApplewhere they all need to be the same round square shape with white filler shade-ins. Heck, system apps used to look cool and not something you could replicate in a few simple steps using basic shapes on Word. Having the camera image and video buttons next to eachother instead of crapple's scrolling. I'd rather not have a full screen phone and an area above the screen for the camera so there isn't a pimple/notch cropping my display. Headphone jacks, task manager, heartrate monitor, bring phone to ear to call gesture, fun classic ringtones unlike today's several weird/embarrassing ones, pinning multiple apps open instead of just 1 keep open app, holding down on the homepage dots and sliding through your different pages with the annimation. I'm surprised you can still tap on a homepage dot to get directly to that page without having to keep swiping to get there in a way to copy crapple ios. Today, phones don't really get better anymore. Kill off some features that crapple is to ignorant to have bit just stay a touch above and not add new ones in. Other than that and making the camera bairly better than the last one its the same user experience as on the last several generations.

For some reason Google's camera app no longer supports double tap to flip to selfie cam.. And I wish OnePlus's "drawing shapes" on lock screen would become a native Android feature, such an easy way to turn on flashlight, etc..

About holding on navigation keys, when I rooted my phone and used Gravitybox, I did alot of customizations to my nav keys, like holding multitask will start screen recording - holding return may take screenshot etc.. I noticed through my usage, sometimes I just hold return like not want to close the app immediately or in a baffle to close or not. But it was taking screenshots so it was an annoying, and inconvenient for daily usage.

Android as an OS is lightyears ahead of what iOS can be. The design, features and the customisation are all *chef's kiss*. iOS still feels like an OS back from the 2008.
