I miss my old iPod- just being able to listen to music without the distraction of emails, messages etc. I’d love it if they could be updated! I really super heavily on my iPhone now - great until I lost it recently 😞
Would love to see an uptodate version of a Nokia 3310.
I love my Samsung Galaxy S20 as it help me to to lots of things.
I've got a Poco F3 work's good with Smarty, but in central London sometimes signal is weak.
My favourite piece of tech has to be my oculus quest VR headset. Throughout the years there have been jumps in technical advancement, in the 80's it was gaming consoles, in the 2000's was smart phones and in the 2020's it has been advancements in virtual and augmented reality. Where it goes next I have no idea but am excited for it.
As for what I would like to see in the future of mobile tech is a way to incorporate your phone into virtual reality. Imagine, sitting there at your virtual desk and your physical phone rings and you will be able to see it through your headset and be able to pick it up and read what's on the screen without having to remove your headset to check. That would be awesome. That and also a much better battery life where one charge will last at least 4 days with heavy use but major advancements in battery technology would have to come along for this to be a reality.
I think an alternative to the Google Play Store and Apple stores would be a good idea. Maybe the capacity to install apps from this alternative store AND google play AND maybe even your own apps. A hard reset would be your likely route to fixing any problems, but an acceptable price to pay for the convenience. Another alternative would be to be able to clone your phone to the cloud, so more than a backup an actual clone so if you lost your phone and bought the exact same model, you could re-clone it in one hit maybe.
I love my iPhone SE 2022, it's small, has fingerprint recognition, which is seamless for logging into online banking apps, a good enough camers for me, and the battery life is good (when I turned off 5G!)
All tech is great but if there is no connectivity it is not much use, got to say my favorite in recent times would be my 30GB SMARTY Sim which provides a network connection for all devices in my car and also an effective backup for my home connection should it not be available for any reason
I love my Samsung galaxy M30s and the Fingerprint login which seems so many Apps are now supporting (I just want SMARTY to figure out why I can't receive text messages from certain people - like my Doctors!
I love my Poco F3 as it packs a lot of features for a fraction of a price like 120hz refresh rate, great camera for my usage. I'd like to see Nokia come up new technology as they dominate the market before Iphone was a thing. For future features, I would like to see a battery that would last a smartphone for 2r hours just like the old days wherein you do not have to charge everyday.
