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?
Like the sidekick? Motorola really knew how to make phones back then!
Yeah, that’d be pretty cool, but I’m thinking something modernized, like the Lenovo Yoga but smaller, that they can fit a bunch of USB-C and even audio jacks to. Modern phones are big enough to fit a real keyboard anyways, and you can probably do something even crazier like have mini-OLED screens inside programmable buttons a la one of the Mac Pros.
