I don’t think this is android specific, but having the IR LED that allowed you to use your phone as a universal remote. I get that lots of TVs are getting fancier remotes that communicate in other ways, but there are still plenty of applications of the IR LED.
Xiaomi and OnePlus phones still have it
Bull nuggets. My OnePlus 7 Pro didn’t.
and I use it for my AC on my POCO
I miss this too. Such an underrated feature of the Wii U gamepad too.
Man, I keep my old lgg3 limping along for just that reason.
Chinese phone brands love IR LEDs for some reason. I rarely use the IR on my phone but you can still get new phones with IR features.
Right?? I loved taking over the Laundromat TV!
iPhone/iOS didn’t have them built in, but there were dongles for it back in the 30pin dock connector days
AliExpress still sells them with Lightning and USB C connectors
