For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up

Physical keyboards.

I loathe typing on my phone. My texts are unreadable a vast majority of the time

Wow, I had forgotten about how much I loved these. My favorite phone ever was the HTC G2. LOVED that keyboard!

My wife had a super cool phone that would slide up to reveal a full keyboard. Really slick. Her favorite phone to this day, her Nexus 5 was a close second.

Edit: Samsung gravity 3

I use thumb-key to make typing on the phone more accurate. It works pretty nicely
