What niche phone features would appeal to you? - Lemmy.world

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?

My last Android phone was an HTC One M8, and at the time I used Chromecast almost religiously, so it was very convenient to use the IR blaster eliminating the need for multiple remotes
