    The Galaxy S5 was water resistant and had a headphone jack and microSD card too. It set a new standard that unfortunately no one followed up on.

    To this day I wish they’d open-source that design so at the very least, small hobbyists and open source fanatics could try making updates to that design using the same basic frame. I think there’s a large portion of the population that wouldn’t mind having some variation of the Galaxy S5 forever as long as the internals and camera were upgraded every so often.
