I have an iphone 6 which to lots of people would be outdated and dull but to me it's a shiny new magic thing as much as the day I got it! Prior to that I'd inherited my son's iphone4 which was my first bit of tech. He showed me how to use it!!!! I only upgraded to the iphone6 because some of the apps weren't working on it any more. I think I'm going to have similar problems with the iphone 6 gradually which is a shame as it really does do everything I need. I find it a shame that things aren't made to be more long lasting. But then that doesn't make money for anyone does it?!
What do you love most about your current devices?
Battery life! Unlike the phones of my friends and family, mine retains battery for at least 24 hours if not more and means I never worry it will suddenly switch off when I’m hiking in the mountains.
What classic device would you like to see updated (if technology issues were no problem)?
The earliest Nokia series mobiles. These were great, solid phones which I never managed to break despite dropping mine on concrete, in water and in sand. They had the fundamental features we needed plus good old snake.
What future features would you like to see from mobile tech?
Much larger free cloud space so that all my devices could link to only 1 without using up all the capacity, an ‘urgent only’ option which only alerts the user when something important comes in within a chosen period in the day, no planned obsolescence, longer battery life (mine is long relative to others but could still be much better), better cameras on android phones, better resistance to water and impacts.
It's so easy to use and keep both my phone and computer conected, so I never miss anything.
The thing I would like to see is more conectiverty between all smart devices
What future features would you like to see from mobile tech?
Seamless connectivity, Satellite internet connection , new battery technology that will be more efficient for longer period of time.I love my Motorola G50 because it was the reasonably priced device with the features I wanted, particularly NFC.
Classic Device Update
I would like my small 3G non-smart phone updated so it links to my smartphone and works on 4G. It is small enough to fit in a small pocket on running shorts for emergency use, but 3G is going to disappear.
I love my current device because it's has 90hz refresh rate.
Classic device I love to see is the GameCube because it introduced me to Zelda.
The future I like to see in mobiles is completely transparent without seeing any components
I love my pro 20 & it's functionality. Would love a speedier charging time / better battery life /lower energy consumption. If anything was possible, would it be great if phones were self charging via solar energy
I always used to get laughed at many years ago in the days of the early smartphones when I said I would be more than happy with a 7" screen, here we are with most decent phones having BIG screens & I love it!!!
I can now use as a sat nav & music system in the car controlled by voice. Also it can handle Skydeamon for flight navigation. Bring on the future!
I love my Motorola smartphone with my Smarty SIM as it allows me to use the internet without having a landline.
Just wish my local 4G signal was more reliable.
