Love my iphone as it allows me to do all my emails and online stuff on the mooove; plus the smarty network is decent priced for data too!

Love the calendar on my phone/iPad…the ability to sync and save appointments, and then send me a reminder….magic !!

An iPhone. I was a many years Android user, and once tried and iPhone, it changed everything. I love having everything in one handheld device and being able to access every bit of information and my every file from anywhere in the world.

1st q:Contactless payment via my mobile phone definetly made my life easier and faster to manage. NFC is my favourite part of using new generation devices.
2nd q: I think it would be perfect if we could use radios on our mobile devices without headphones.I love to be unable to predict next track and hear from people from around the world. I cannot carry a radio with me wherever I go.So radio in phone without headphones would save my day!
3rd q:For future features I would like to see from mobile tech is 3D screens that we can touch and manage. Like drawing pictures, writing letters without touching to screen but the holographic images maybe.

I love that my devices are good value for money and able to run most of the things I throw at them. I have a phone that can do almost everything and can charge quickly, I have a laptop that can play heavy and demanding online games and I have a game console that I can use anywhere when I don't have time to sit in front of my laptop and play my games. Things that are important to me are, devices that don't break the bank, good value, worth it and able to do all the things I need.

I love that I can take stunning pictures of my favourite moments<3

If mobile could connect to the Starlink satellites and use its internet connection, that would be great. So, technology makes it easy for people to get online. For people whose government restricts access to the internet, this technology is pretty useful.

I would be lost without my Kindle, my iPhone and my Apple Watch.. My kindle holds so many books and it goes with me on my travels several times a year. My iPhone as well as being an essential communication tool, is also my most used camera and photography is a passion of mine. My Apple Watch keeps me on track with alarms and reminders including motivation to move/exercise! Phew! 😉
01-16-2023 08:56 PM
Google phones - had them for 5 years now. Great camera and easy to update OS for a long time.
I miss the old Nokia's purely for the battery life. I wish I could have a phone that lasts a week and doesn't give me a heart attack every time I drop it.
01-16-2023 08:58 PM
My favourite device is my garmin watch, as it gives me just the right level of functionality; it encourages my fitness and wellbeing and I can use it for listening to music whilst I run. And I prefer it to other smart watches that aim to function more like a secondary phone, because I don't like feeling like my attention/ time is being taken away by the watch - it adds to my life rather than taking away valuable time.
It's not so much of an update but I think it would be great if there were more integration/ connectivity between devices from different brands - e.g. smarth watches to phones etc. I know they want to encourage you to buy everything from them so don't make them compatible but it would probably reduce electronic waste and make our lives a lot easier!

If they updated a classic device, my favourite would be my first smartphone, which I think was a Sharp Aquos Compact SH-02. I bought Sony Xperia after the battery and the spare battery both packed up, but it wasn't as good. So my third phone, I chose Sharp again and this time got a Sharp Pi, but still preferred the very first one, the Sharp Aquos Compact.

I love my pad as I can do anything on it from watching films and TV to writing short stories for my grandchildren and emailing them to them.

01-16-2023 09:03 PM
Love my tablet..can stream TV or Xbox games.turning into a multimedia platform.
01-16-2023 09:06 PM
I love my phone as I use it for lots of things just like a mini laptop!! I check emails take photos that's a big thing for me for work and social friend's and family photos, diary , phone calls lol texts all the time .... Be it through socials or mobile ....
01-16-2023 09:06 PM
Love being able to stream TV or Xbox onto my phone or tablet.
01-16-2023 09:10 PM
My favourite thing about my tech is my phone was free and works with my Smarty sim
01-16-2023 09:10 PM
Loving my doogee phone with its big battery that lasts for days and good cameras for taking video from my drone
01-16-2023 09:12 PM
I love a good camera, so I can take great pics. I'm also very grateful that my current phone comes with a case & that it's got gorilla glass, as I drop it all the time!
01-16-2023 09:13 PM
I love my Samsung S21fe for ease of use, size and memory. I would love to see the Nokia 3210 return, updated to present technology. In the future, I would like more compatability and access across all the different operating platforms.
01-16-2023 09:17 PM
Who this?
01-16-2023 09:16 PM
I love the ease of tech now, My PC has less problems, my phones have less problems, obviously it’s not perfect but certainly came a long way.
Now that cameras are better I’d love to see more phone makers allow crop in stabilisation like in the iPhone, It can be super handy not just for running and recording but in an emergency, say trying to record a cars reg or get someone’s face.
01-16-2023 09:17 PM
I really enjoy using my Alexa as it can update me on anything I ask it about
01-16-2023 09:17 PM
I have a Blackview Tab 9 tablet. I got it to use with my other favourite bit of tech, my Casio Privia px-s1100 piano. Together I can use my tablet & piano to read music, but also adjust the tone, pitch, pedal effects and the same acoustic effect as playing in the Albert Hall!
This is on top of the everything else I used my tablet for, staying in touch whilst quarantined, banking, shopping, studying...the world at your fingertips.
I'd love for VR to become more mainstream.
01-16-2023 09:17 PM
I would love a new phone my current one could be mistaken for a relic from the Middle Ages!
01-16-2023 09:18 PM
Philips Hue lights are my latest project. Amazing home much lighting can change the look and feel of your home.
01-16-2023 09:18 PM
I really like my iPad Air portability. Big enough to watch Netflix or remote play my consoles, but small enough to be carried everywhere.
01-16-2023 09:18 PM
Question 1
That my wife can use it
01-16-2023 09:19 PM

01-16-2023 09:21 PM
I wouldn’t be without my iPhone which I link to my iPads can work from anywhere and with more 5g becoming available lightning fast connections mean life is simple.
01-16-2023 09:21 PM
I really love my Samsung a70 great battery life and fast charge
01-16-2023 09:22 PM
I love my Google pixel phone as it has amazing voice dictation and as I am dyslexic it's super helpful being able to voice dictate rather than have to type and spell new words!
01-16-2023 09:22 PM
I’m loving my new Apple Watch as it’s helped me immensely with losing some excess pounds and helped me get healthier!
01-16-2023 09:23 PM
I loved the Samsung galaxy S10’s camera. It broke and I currently have a secondhand iPhone 6 and it’s no where near the level.
01-16-2023 09:22 PM
I love the fact that I can have a pin,fingerprint and face recognition for security access, and the fact I can put my device into kids mode and not worry about anything being deleted,
