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?

    Out of curiosity, why would you want a phone with no cameras?

    And do phones with built in projectors exist? That sounds amazing, even if I would almost never use it

      I never really use the camera for anything meaningful, and prefer video call on the laptop.

      Don’t think projector phones exist, just a wishlist for something cool!

        Afaik there used to be a smartphone with an inbuilt (shitty) projector. You could show off pics and video clips from a distance of around 30 cm (that’s around 1.3 medium sized standard bananas in imperial units). It was only enjoyable in a dark room, but nevertheless, the tech existed 10 years ago. I think it was called the something-bee-something-phone.
