Anyone still remember sliders and flagship keypad phones

[raaid]

Around 2005 to 2011 sliders were like the coolest things. The most recognisable ones are the Nokia n95 and others. The phones were really good but the problem is that nowadays most companies either make flip phones or candy bars without the features and companies could really make a flagship sliders that ran Kai os but nowadays no one really realises that something existed like that (aka children nowadays who only seen a huge tablet) and even if there is one left (the g5 I saw which was from Pakistan) it doesn’t have the specs as everything is just touchscreen maybe companies like Samsung can save the thing but everyone will reconsider
And that’s it

Nokia N95 days were iconic. A modern slider would definitely stand out today, sliders had their own charm, but companies focus only on what sells.

Not sure what a N95 was, but my first real phone that wasn't regionally locked through roaming, was a nokia, lasted about 10 minutes in washing machine before i found it pulled battery and let dry for a week, still worked afterwards. Had a small screen and keypad on front. No color LCD.
