▲ 1037 ▼ What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost? (lemmy.world) submitted 2 years ago* by fastandcurious@lemmy.world to c/asklemmy@lemmy.world 805 comments fedilink hide all child comments 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

My s22ultra now lights up around the intire edge so again better than a single light. I have had this phone for over a year now and never even noticed it no longer has a headphone jack until lookingfor one at this moment. I will agree with the replacement battery as I would have continued using my note 5 and then my note 9 if the battery hadn't worn out. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago Real keyboards where overrated, swiping is so much quicker.

The edge lighting is neet but not continuous. It also does not change color depending on the type of notification. A back version is also a good idea. permalink fedilink source parent [+] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] deweydecibel@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago I have had this phone for over a year now and never even noticed it no longer has a headphone jack until lookingfor one at this moment Why do you believe your use case and your habits are a relevant argument against the necessity of the jack? People who want it actually use it, what difference does it make if you personally don't need it? permalink fedilink source parent [–] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 1 point 2 years ago Yeah swiping is nice if it exists in your language. Seems like a basic feature, but Apple doesn’t mind being 10 years behind everyone else. Still waiting for that awesome swiping feature to roll out. Probably not going to happen any time soon. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago* Sounds like what you want is a netbook. permalink fedilink source parent
