Hmmm, I'd have to say my phone, Google Pixel 5.

Excellent camera, even if a few yrs old now.  But more than anything else, how the hell would I manage without my phone...

[ChrisPapUK]

I have the huawei mate 20 lite and love everything about it, had it for a while now and takes great photos, good with all apps and does everything I need, entering this prize draw as mum is still on Nokia 3210 and if won this, I will give phone to mum as it would be her 1st smart phone.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S22 which is an amazing piece of tech. So many features and the camera is out of this world.

[TechPoet]

1) My iPhone 11, despite not being the latest/greatest model, still blows my mind when I think about what magic it can do. If you had told the teenage me that, by the time he was middle aged, he’d own a powerful, pocket-sized, internet-connected, touchscreen computer that would supplant his PC, his Walkman, his parents' landline phone, his MegaDrive console and his dad's camcorder, all the while functioning as a superb digital camera, a powerful PDA, an e-reader, a torch, a streaming video player and a real-time satellite navigation aid, he would have thought you were totally off your rocker.

2) I'd like the pogo stick to be reimagined and supercharged with futuristic tech powers. Bouncing over buildings would be pretty cool.

3) I'd like to see mobile tech get much greener and more sustainable: better solar charging technology; more fixable, replaceable and recyclable parts; far less abhorrent 'built-in obsolescence'; less plastic and fewer rare earth elements. Alternatively, if we're all doomed anyway, a smartphone with a camera that can see through walls and clothing would be epic. Or what about a tablet computer that doubles as a handy hoverboard?

[habibaBi_614353]

• What do you love most about your current devices? The camera quality, ability to multi task and speed of my phone. 
• What classic device would you like to see updated (if technology issues were no problem)? Juke boxes. 
• What future features would you like to see from mobile tech? Phones that have unlimited storage and do not need phone cases.

My favourite thing about my phone is the fact the screen is large and clear enough for me to read on! I love being able to read books and colour comics on it without having to drag around something clunky, like a tablet, to work or uni, so I appreciate that aspect a lot

[Barrysua257409]

I like my tablet as it's versitile for many uses and more portable than a laptop

[Nichola_1332989]

I live my phone as even when I get a new model, all the buttons are the same and so easy to use for a technophobe like me

[DarioVie_262411]

Who can lives with no technology on our days? I love any device that makes my life easy, this make me in control just a sinple touch on my phone to make magic happens. Et voilà! All sorted xx

[Scott_93870]

What classic device would you like to see updated?
Having had a few phones break pretty easily over the years, I miss the hardiness of the Nokia 3210. That was my first phone, and they were indestructible! 

[KRISTINA_390086]

well, those were really durable lol a friend of mine dropped it into the mud deep then fished it out got home took the battery off washed it with garden hoes, placed it in sun to dry put it together and it was still working... amazing

[DIANEJO_1080427]

My favourite tech is my moto g50, the screenshot feature is so very easy to use  

[Ranky67]

My chrome book is great. Ido everything on it email tv and Internet. My granddaughter is better than me on it though and she is only 18 month old😂

[SorchaB_1764140]

I love my phone as it allows me to keep in touch with friends and family back home & I also love using it to take and edit pictures to add to my memories every year.

[KRISTINA_390086]

• What do you love most about your current devices? I have an older Honor but it is serving me very well, the battery is still great and never lets me down. Honors are great phones.
• What classic device would you like to see updated (if technology issues were no problem)? voice control on more remotes.
• What future features would you like to see from mobile tech? lest intrusive features like making emails and passwords you don't want to make and can't remember.

[William_1605729]

I love my Kindle, as having had a TIA, it lets me escape to other worlds through literature. 
🙏🏻✨🙏🏻

[AndrewWi_304815]

I love Android phones as I find them easier to use than iPhone, mainly because I've never owned an iPhone.

[PP_337715]

I love technologies that changing the way we live, for example, SatNav, iPhone, Android Phone, etc.

[TonyDobbi_11960]

Anything Apple.

[EmilyTr_1521895]

Any tech that can keep us connected is a fantastic piece of innovation. From lap top to phone from morse code to flashlights. I would feel lost without the invention of mobile phone and innovation often thinking how much closer this has brought us all together since there invention. I'm a gamer so a new version of the n64 would be my go to kit.

[TesniPo_1481962]

My redmi note 10 has great sound and battery power for the price and I like how I can boost it and have optimization built into the phone. 

[DipalPa_1406839]

[RobV]

I love my robot vacuum. I have a few now and has been great keeping on top of dust and bits around the house 

[DavidMcA_854930]

I love my Google pixel phone, the pictures it takes are amazing. The camera is the most important thing i look for when buying a new smartphone 

[RhettCla_845321]

My new Apple Watch helped me immensely to shred some excess pounds and it’s so easy to use 

[ALANBIS_1389164]

i'd love to see a complete change in battery technology, more powerful and yet minimal impact on Mother Earth.

[kimpayne_128411]

I love that as well as a means of communication my mobile phone in a source of entertainment and information. 

[AndrewW_1294019]

The fact that I carry around a computer in my pocket that replaces so many things from the past (yes i'm old) and we all take it for granted.

[Sbristo5]

My A53 5G. Great phone and with the Smarty 5G card seen speeds over 1000mbps.

[ChrisWi_1738128]

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,

[Joeyannejojo]

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. 

[RhettCla_845321]

I’m loving my new Apple Watch as it’s helped me immensely with losing some excess pounds and helped me get healthier!

[JackBro_1730278]

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!

[DavidMo_1447599]

I really love my Samsung a70 great battery life and fast charge 

[MarkFor_1304381]

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.

[Angelde_1307976]

I love my iPad Air portability. It’s big enough to watch Netflix or remote play on my consoles, but small enough to carry it everywhere.
