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?
Would that be so bad if there was a cheap way to get it replaced? I mean you are going to do it every few years at worst, just make it so the manufacturer has to offer that option at a decent price or open it up to your local repair shop (or make it replaceable).
