I loved it when my phone had IR. I really hate it when restaurants have tvs on in the dining room. I would turn the volume down or even turn it off. I really miss being able to do that.
I had that phone for like 4 months and loved it! Unfortunately the police stole it when the house I was living in was raided… it was a good phone, I spent quite lot of hours researching which to get and decided that would be the best.
oneui is pretty decent but actually i don’t like the build quality on most older a series, including mine.
it got better with a54, a53 and a7x ones tho
Yeah, mine doesn’t either, but I guess I could get a USB to 3.5mm, then the 3.5mm IR dongle… Eh, I’ve lived fine without it, as much as I’d enjoy having it back.

My Galaxy S5 was great when people insisted on watching Fox or Nancy Grace at full volume on the lunch room TV.
Could you age restrict Fox and OAN?
Most Chinese brand phones like oppo and Xiaomi still has it as standard.
I use it to control my air conditioning all the time.
what is a good phone that has it?
My Xiaomi 13 has it.
In the US, OnePlus Open is a recent phone I can think of with an IR blaster, but that’s a $1700 phone.
I miss using my LG v20
i still have redmi note 4 with one
fully controllable with an api too

you had the snapdragon one right?
I’m pretty sure it was the Helio series one? How come
Did that in my high school. Turned on Thomas the Train.
I was a rebel. They unplugged the TV after that
I just brought a universal remote to class, admittedly causing the TV to get unplugged as well.
Well that was the behavior of a jerk.
10/10, would turn screens off for a more enjoyable dining experience again.
I wonder if an IR dongle is a thing that’s available and would function well…
look irplus wave if you have a headphone jack
about that… :(
yeah my phone doesn’t have one (pixel 7a)
mine has tho (a52s)
well main reason I have a pixel is I hate one ui
