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?

      Add on an SD slot and you and I have an identical list.

      Man, I forgot all about notification LEDs. My list is practically identical to yours.

        There are apps that simulate one using your OLED screen. They make a blinking RGB dot roughly where the LED would be.

            I’m not sure about all of them, I do know that the most popular Samsung-specific one actually hooks into the AOD and therefore uses the same amount of battery life (~3%) than the native AOD implementation. I wouldn’t know about how that interacts with true sleep, though.

                If I recall correctly, it’s “AOD Notify”

          Yeah but it’s not the same even though it is essentially.
