The original Motorola Defy had it right when released, micro sc slot, decent camera for the time, rugged case you could literally unscrew with an allen wrench to fix the phone, removable battery, a size that actually fit in your pocket, sub $300 price iirc, and it was ip67 rated.

Don’t tell me we CAN’T make that phone, Motorola did it in a cave in the 2010s with a bunch of scraps!
