Samsung once sold a fantastic phone. It had a wonderful camera, a great 432 PPI OLED screen, a battery that could be swapped in seconds with no tools, a headphone jack, an SD card slot, NFC, optional wireless charging, USB 3.0, HDMI output over MHL, an IR emitter for shenanigans, heart rate and blood oxygen saturation sensors, and at 8.1mm thick it was also waterproof.

It was hackable, rootable, and it ran aftermarket ROMs like a dream.

It was the Galaxy S5, and it was released just over a decade ago.

Things have been headed downhill ever since.
