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?

Ironically enough the headphone jack is more common on cheaper phones. Honestly though the mid grade phones are so good now that I can't see myself buying a flagship device unless there's some incentive.

lol yeah the last phone I bought was the Pixel 5A because of that.

...But they better keep it that way >:(

The pixel 6a doesn't have a headphone jack unfortunately.

I hate that they often tie the better camera to the flagship model, especially a longer lens. That would be pretty high on my wish list.
