  • What do you love most about your current devices?

The thing I love the most about my current Xperia XZ3 is how much abuse it has taken over the years with hardly a scratch! Only when it finally goes kaput will I ever replace it! 

  • What classic device would you like to see updated (if technology issues were no problem)?

I'd be amazed to see a refined and modernised Xperia Play - What a treat it would be able to play high quality games on the go without a separate device and physical buttons!!

  • What future features would you like to see from mobile tech?

I'd love to see phones being made with tactile-physical buttons that were competitive with touchscreen devices, without being gimmicky!

Love that my phone has my day to day  banking and office needs on one device, easy to use. It's a mobile office in my pocket. Just wish battery life was better.

My iPhone 12  is a great all rounder, it links my iPad and old iMac seamlessly However, as I do most banking, emails etc and travel with it. I’d love an extra emergency power facility to use, except low power mode. And SMARTY is G R E A T .

I like GPS and GPS Mapping apps because I'm into hiking/backpacking/wild camping. I'm an old crumbly so I don't need the latest and greatest tech tbh, as long as the GPS works!

I love my mobile phobe, especially when I go on holiday, I remember before mobiles I'd take my boarding pass and tickets, my camera, my camcorder, my Walkman for a bit of music on the beach, a magazine or book and even a couple of maps or destination guides, suprised I had any space left in my suitcase! Now I have everything I need in the palm of my hand...isn't tech AMAZING👏.....and doesn't this post make me sound REALLY old?!? 🤣😂🤣

I'd love high spec phones to have better battery life - I loved the good old days of the Nokia 3310 which would last a week, easy! I find I'm often caught out without battery and that's frustrating.

I love my Samsung phone but its getting old just like me😪 so a new phone would be fabulous.  I just love having some much info at my finger tips, couldn't be without my phone now,  for keeping intouch with family and friends to my love of google and now youtube,  what a source of info that is 👌👌

So I think a good feature on my iPhone would be a ‘quick click’ button to record the call you are on for future use!

I love the camera on my current device , snap shots and memories captured from within your pocket. 
I would love to see the Nokia N95 be reinvented, the size, the functions it was amazing back in the day, stereo speakers too from Bose. Marvellous piece of technology.

as for future phones, I would like to see an unhackable phones OS or eco system. Privacy and data secure and reassured to its user.

Favourite bit of tech are our wi-fi light bulbs. No more switching off the big light and stubbing our toes on the leg of the bed (Ouch). Can now  get into bed and tell the light to switch of via Google Home, fantastic.

My favourite tech device that's very crucial to me is my Smart Watch, it allows me to keep motivated to achieve my fitness goals every single day and keep me active so i can lead a healthy life style.

Right from exercising, to breathing and sleeping all through one device, it's magnificent.

Q1: Moto g9 power. The big battery life :3

Q2: Any  pre-HDMGlobalNokia phone i guess? Those windows phone devices were the best. But this time with better environment for developers, to make their apps available ofc:)

Q3: AR glasses. I see lot of potential in those. Notifications, GPS etc.

I love my Amazon FireStick. Being able to watch all my favourite shows using the fast 5G speeds of smarty by tethering from my phone is the best way. No buffering at all!

My current device mostly has a sentimental value but I love how wide the screen is. In the future most important feature for me would be a long battery life so I could go days without charging my phone even if using a lot.

  • What do you love most about your current devices? The fact that I can read my books on a tablet or mobile and don't have to carry them with me is super convenient.
  • What classic device would you like to see updated (if technology issues were no problem)?    I want in the new smartphones what Nokia could provide back in the day, when you only had to charge a phone like once a week. 😉

Hello

 

I am really excited about the development of mobile networks, and especially in terms of data transfer (speed, response, coverage, etc.) because the shift of service from wired providers allows me to feel much more free in this world where we work and play online. Of course, in the last mile part, not the backbone.

Regards.

My smart phone is pretty basic but does everything I need it to, like camera, social media etc. I think however if I could project things off my phone that would be handy for instance if I wanted to show a video to a few people if I could project it onto a wall it would be easier than all huddling round a phone.

My favourite piece of tech is my mobile phone. Mainly because it is so versatile. It’s a great camera , it lets me search the web, use email,  talk to people, and pay for things. So now I only need to carry around one device instead of 3 or 4.

I love having a phone with fingerprint ID. It makes online banking so much easier and still feel secure. It also feels so futuristic, so far from the first mobile phone I had that didn't even lock.

  • What future features would you like to see from mobile tech?

    I would love to see well implemented AR capabilities. Being able to overlay AR elements while recording would be very fun.

Apple fan in general. Have a Mac, iPad mini and iPhone which all talk to each other, I can connect to my TV, Sonos so Music in every room, and it is all effortless.

I love SBC’s (single board computers) as they are so versatile and can do anything within reason. I would like to see more open source tech so that you can choose what operating systems, and mod them to your preferences.

I love my Ipad as I've found it my favourite and most reliable instrument for DJing, was using my laptop for  years with numerous issues, doing it via ipad is much simpler
