Nothing's unobtainium "perfect" dream #phone is better than what's on the market, but I would definitely skip a pop-up camera that's begging to break.

Bring back my #headphone jack and #MicroSD slots!! Make it a little thicker with a bigger battery, too.

I don't care about the biometric scanners because yuck, so put that space into better back #cameras with a nice range of ultrawide to zoom with decent low-light response. (Yeah, I want DSLR-adjacent quality out of a 2mm lens.)

@DanielMReck The headphone jack would be very welcome. The pop-up camera is, I feel, a feature for vloggers/content creators that should be in an Unobtanium Phone Plus.

@ouij haha they'd snap that right up!

Of course if they were *real* production creators they would buy actual production kit. Don't use a phone to be your primary camera. Use a camera!

@DanielMReck sure, but there is a real advantage to miniaturization and consolidation. For a lot of uses, the camera you have with you is the best camera there is. A pop-up camera--especially if gimballed or otherwise stabilized--would be a huge benefit to content creators that already produce a lot of walk-and-talk videos. (I am thinking of a lot of travel vloggers). Instead of a separate camera, they just have one device; easier to get into places where "professional" gear is restricted
