List the features you love about your phone, the little features that just make your phone that little bit useful. Personally mine is the S6's wave to wake feature since waving around the top of the phone on a table turns it on for a few seconds to display time is nice. Also how my S6 vibrates if I have notifications when I pick it up when upside down.

Fingerprint unlock, very helpful.

Also the wave over screen to wake it, can help if hands are full or w/e.

 

OnePlus 3T btw.

Of course the fingerprint is always useful, and yeah I agree about the Wave to wake, its a lovely feature to have

My phone is slower than the Galaxy S3 and gets a lower graphics score at a lower resolution... sooooo

 

Literally when my S3 died I had to re-downgrade to this pile of ass known as the Avant.

My next phone banks heavily on what level of BS my mom pulls, as she's the one paying for this phone. If my dad has to get my sister and I new phones, he'll probably just get two more V20's because the plan him and what-will-probably-be-my-new-mom-before-too-long have offers a discount on them if they fill out the other two lines.
