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?

An ir blaster, great as a universal remote
I know some phones had already did this, but I always liked the idea of support for using your phone as a TV remote. The phone has replaced so many pieces of hardware that it feels silly that TV remotes haven’t been replaced yet.
I also specifically wish Chrome supported extensions on mobile. Firefox does it. Why can’t the biggest browser do it?
A Silent/Vibrate/Ring switch like on the OnePlus phones, headphone jack and a easily swappable battery.
HEADPHONE JACK.
GIVE ME THE GOD DAMN HEADPHONE JACK BACK
Ironically enough the headphone jack is more common on cheaper phones. Honestly though the mid grade phones are so good now that I can’t see myself buying a flagship device unless there’s some incentive.
