I went through my late teens as the initial smart phone boom was happening. I had a Motorola q that could get TV channels and had a keyboard. I had the enV that flipped open. And many androids/blackberries that I loved for their unique form factor and functionality.

I have never balked at spending money on a phone and for a long time i felt locked into generic flagship devices. With the debut of folding screens I feel like my appetite for unique devices rekindled. I think the power of android lies in its diversity of implementation.

So what features and functionalities would you choose over the next flagship release?

    Headset jack and let me replace my damn battery. Also default option to uninstall non-OEM apps

      You’re in luck for the battery thing. It’s basically going to be mandatory in the EU which should hopefully help push change everywhere

        I really hate that it is becoming mandatory. I would have preferred the option to either have a reasonably priced service to replace the battery or have it user replaceable. Forcing one solution just seems not very consumer friendly.

        I don’t like the compromises they have to make to make them easily replaceable and I never had a battery fail on me.
