I admire the gumption of making a new phone.
But controlled obsolescence kills me. The real feature that improves in phones the past few years for me is the software and apps, not the hardware.
My wishlist:
- Give me a lighter, snappier OS. Not something clunkier and slower and uses more ram, gpu/cpu (aka battery life).
- Actually support updates to the things for longer than 2-3 years.
- (Not related to this phone) Use stock android, unless you're removing bloat. Why? Because inevitably there's going to be apps. What I want is a nice flat surface that includes wifi, bluetooth, and nice API's and permissions for those apps to plug into.
- The biggest feature you can give me on a phone? Battery life, Replaceable battery, Data/Cell reception, Speaker/Microphone quality.
- SIM card that's easy to get out.
- Actually, Dual SIM's.
- Support for carriers globally.
- And physical keyboards. Something for SSH'ing with.
