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

IR blaster was the shit. Back then, there was an app called beep and go (I think) that held the barcodes for your loyalty cards. For someone that collected them like baseball cards, it was really handy.
Anyway, Samsung actually had the ability to transmit the barcode via the IR blaster which some scanners could read if they couldn't read the barcode on the phone.
It was awesome!
I agree that the heart rate monitor was a bit of a gimmick though.
I used to fuck with friends with my "universal remote", and of course use my phone whenever i misplaced my own I miss that stupid feature the most
