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

    There are often enterprise versions that still have it. Like the S10E for example.

        Forgot my bluetooth headphones the other day on a long trip and the 3.5mm jack saved my rear end.

        Just needed to stop at a shop briefly for some cheap plug-in buds and I was no longer listening to babies screaming on the journey. As a bonus, it also didn’t interfere with me charging my phone

          I’d like bluetooth earbuds a lot more if I could find some that aren’t “smart.” If I put on a beanie, I bump them. If I remove one earbud to converse, I bump it. I’ve not once intentionally used a gesture-based control on an earbud for anything else other than undoing the situation I’ve caused by bumping them. Otherwise, I control everything with my phone. If I’m working out, I just select my playlist, mute notifications, and I don’t have to touch anything after that. Gesture-based earbuds are not for me.

          I really don’t think there are dumb bluetooth earbuds, though. At least, I haven’t been able to find any.

      Not really, it’s mostly only budget phones that have it nowadays. The S10E(which stands for ‘essential’ btw, not ‘enterprise’) is almost 5 years old, not exactly representative of the modern phone market.

        To be fair, on the modern phone market it doesn’t really matter whether you spend 300 or 1000. They’re all decent ish
