What's your ideal phone?

[dizmo]

So every so often I like to see how peoples views of their ideal phone has changed. There's been some crazy advances over the years, and they've definitely changed what I look for in a phone.

I used to want something with a massive 6,000mah battery (I was shocked when the ROG Phone II had one! However, it's too large of a device for me to consider), but that's been replaced by legit fast charging and improved battery life year over year from the package.

 

What are your guy's hopes for future devices?

This is mine:

• Flagship SoC
• 8GB RAM
• 256GB storage
• 6.3" display
• 90hz AMOLED display, curved
• Under display front facing camera
• 4 rear cameras, OIS stabilized
• Stereo speakers
• 4,200 mah battery
• 75w fast charger
• 50w wireless charging
• Case built into the phone, but in a nice, stylish way

A lot of the things I have on my list are available in upper-mid tier phones, which is awesome. There are still a few things that haven't come around yet, like the under display camera and the 75w fast charging, but really, those will likely arrive in the next year or so. I'm hoping the next Samsung ticks a lot of these boxes.

I'm pretty lucky to be able to get most of these things on a mid range or budget android phone and thats usually what I go with, though I can't get huawei anymore

 

 

good battery

headphone jack (though I probably won't be able to get that anymore)

fast charging

at least a 6" screen

good camera+good post processing for the picture

screen with decent colors

fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone (if the phone has one)

I'd just like an iPhone 5s-style phone with more modern hardware.

The iPhone 8 Plus with a headphone jack and a USB-C port.

something that looks like the razer phone 2 (no logo on the back) with the internals of an iphone 11 but with a headphone jack

Haha, agreed. I'm actually looking forward to next years iPhone. They can't possibly rehash the same design again.

I think those days dreams are dead. I saw a report that the next cheap Apple phone will be modeled after the iPhone 8.

Which is sad. I actually wouldn't mind one of the older style phones for a travel phone. Nice and compact. Looks like I'll be hunting down a XZ1 Compact instead.

Curious, why? Those phones have absolutely horrid screen to body ratios.

Have you ever held a Razer Phone 2? The edges look so sharp to me. My friend got one and loves it...and hasn't complained about any new holes in his pants so I imagine it's not too bad. Would you want iOS as well?

Was I supposed to care about that ratio? I must have missed that memo.

i've held it, not much different than my Xperia, i like the clean , sharp designs. not a fan of the super rounded corners everyone makes.

 

Don't really care about OS, i'm not heavily ingrained into either ecosystem so i can easy switch when ever i liked

I mean, it wouldn't be bad if they did something with all that space, but..

Ahh nice. I'd just be afraid of them ripping a hole in my pants.

Gotcha! I wish Android was more optimized, but I get why it isn't.

Yeah but then the phone cost $1K. My 8 Plus was only $450 new.

It wouldn't have to.

Fk i forgot about headphone jack.

 

i guess if wireless codec can finally improve out of bluetooth speed, im fine with it.

Just give me an iPhone 11 Pro Max with USB C, Pro Motion and no notch, no headphone jack cluttering up the bottom either. The iPhone 4 inspired design we're starting to see in renders would be pretty nice too
