The RadioShack Cuecat. At the time I thought it was the coolest free thing ever.

The ringlight on the bottom of Xperia U.
Democracy in the US.
It was never implemented properly. Way too prone to hacking.
To be fair, it's still in Beta.
The internet
Can't say I love the feature but the front facing camera getting "integrated" into the screen isn't nearly as annoying as I thought it would be.
Stadia, I had great internet and it worked great.
Probably the Quick View Window case on the LG G-series phones. The overview on notifications was great and allowed answering calls without opening the flap while protecting most of the screen. Also the reduced visible screen space did not blast you with light when checking time in the middle of the night.
FM radio. Also my old Motorola had a "karate-chop to activate camera" which was very useful
I'm using "double chop" to activate flashlight and double twist turns the camera on.
That movement is so ingrained in my muscle memory, and I'm so absent minded, that I have to admit that I have used my phone's flashlight to try and find my phone in the dark... for several minutes.
I, out of pure self reflection, can't laugh at the TikTok trend of "you forgot your phone" message anymore.
I have a samsung flip. I cannot tell you how much I love this phone.
My old Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 had magnetic sensors in it that would shut off the screen. How it worked is you would put a case on it with a cover that would fold over the screen, and the cover had magnets in it that would activate the sensors and turn off the screen when you closed it.
Anyway, it got old and unreliable and I had to replace it. The new ones don't have that feature.

Hardware navegation buttons.
Retractable fountain pens. I could never afford one though.
Soli. My phone sensing I was reaching for it made it feel like it was alive. Didn't know what I had until it was gone. I want you back Soli!
PIE navigation control
Still using it myself, in fact! LMT is still going strong, though I imagine it would work better if I were able to root the phone I'm using at the moment.
Oh man, I forgot that even existed! I used an app for it for quite a while, I didn't realise how long it must have been since I used it
