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?

    Lots of Xiaomi phones come with IR and an app called Mi Remote with many devices/brands to control.

      Yeah there are still options out there that offer an IR blaster, but I’d really like to see it return as a mainstream feature. Now it’s more of a niche thing you don’t see often.
