In terms of future features, one area of development in mobile technology is the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities. This could include things like more advanced voice assistants, better image recognition, and more personalized experiences. Additionally, there is ongoing research in the field of foldable and rollable displays, which could lead to more versatile and portable devices in the future.

I love my devices to be super fast charging with the latest software updates. My current platform is android 13 and they charge at no less than 65w. I'd like to see devices be more sustainable, not so much need to constantly change hardware, but able to update software, even as a pay-per-upgrade.
17-01-2023 08:26 AM
Great phone and plan make it easy to stream and tether. I watch movies all the time.
17-01-2023 08:25 AM
What do you love most about your current devices?
I love my Iphone pro max for its large screen, long lasting battery and the camera.
17-01-2023 08:23 AM
I like my gaming laptop and tv and my phone lov screen how smooth is
Old tech remake? If my previous phone would have this new 120hz screen I would keep it
Future tech feature the projector so I would project phone on wall 😄
17-01-2023 08:22 AM
I love my OnePlus because it's optimised for gaming and with SMARTY i can game almost anywhere when I want.
I am looking for a replacement to my phone as its old
17-01-2023 08:22 AM
My current devices are so easy to use and understand, and especially my Smarty sim. I changed to Smarty a couple of months ago and am very happy I did so.
17-01-2023 08:20 AM
My favourite bits of kit are my iPad and SoundPeat Truengine se earbuds for watching YouTube
oh and my Smarty unlimited sim of cause😊

New tech for the mobile needs to be better wearable smart devices. I know we have the smart watches but the screen size is so limited and there is only so much you can do. What we need is a phone that can wrap around the wrist and is visible all the time has the full potential of being a watch with information and a phone when taken off. Each panel when worn like a watch could give information like weather, notifications, time/date, and you could answer the call from wearing it.
17-01-2023 08:16 AM
Love my iPhone as it helps me engaged.
17-01-2023 08:13 AM
I love my echo show the most because it allows my to connect through video with my elderly grandmother who is in a home abroad. It has the ability for her to activate it but voice controls and also allows me to drop in with that specific function to see how she is doing if I haven’t heard from her in a while.
17-01-2023 08:06 AM
A smartphone that can be converted to a wearable watch!
17-01-2023 08:05 AM
I like my smart plugs that make my appliances come on automatically
17-01-2023 08:05 AM
I love my I phone it's my TV as well as communication with family and friends
17-01-2023 08:04 AM
120hz refresh rate
17-01-2023 08:02 AM
I love my Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G - coupled with my smarty SIM it gives me so much browsing and music on the go, either at home or away, at super fast speeds, I really couldn't do without it now.
17-01-2023 08:01 AM
What do you love most about your current devices?
- I have ADHD and struggle with charging and losing tech.
- I have a Samsung m32 with a huge 6000 battery which fast charges and makes it so much easier when I forget as there's always enough there. It's currently cracked but still the screen is massive so I can use large text for reading.
- I bought 10 smart tags for my keys, work fob, passport, wallet - EVERYTHING. They make my life infinitely easier and save me hours a day in searching/putting the house back together, as well as making it much less stressful.
- My earbuds do the same, which for someone that puts them in their pocket and loses everything is a lifesaver.

I would like the old iPads to be updated so I can watch things on a bigger screen and so I can see all the pictures that I took on it. Also so I can save the planet by reusing it.
17-01-2023 07:57 AM
I'd love to see the Sony Z3 compact updated. I miss having a powerful phone with an excellent camera that was small enough to put in the tiny pockets you find in women's clothes, and light enough that it didn't add noticeable extra weight to any bag. Small enough to easily use one handed. 5.5 inch screen but not noticeably bigger than the old 4 inch iPhones. Why no super compact smartphones any more? I'd still use mine if the android version could be updated. My phone these days doesn't perform the same function- it has to be left behind if I don't want to carry a bag, no dedicated camera button to quick launch without using the touch screen, and no camera I've used since (even on modern iPhones) comes close for quality.
17-01-2023 07:57 AM
The thing I love about my phone is the amount of tasks you can do on it. As someone that grew up pre Internet is still amazes me. ☺️
17-01-2023 07:55 AM
My current mobile allows me to control several devices. I love that I can schedule my robot hoover, check my pets over the cameras, turn lights on and off and control my TV.
I think the game snake needs to make a comeback.
I'd love to be able to control my car via my phone, not whilst driving, but switch the engine on to keep it warm but without unlocking, get the radio going or my favourite playlist or podcast ready, also, check the stats of the car via my phone, on an app. That would be good.
17-01-2023 07:56 AM
Pixel 6 - It get latest android update, camera is good. It also has a unique look from a phone which stands out in the current smartphone market. The price is very good compare to other mid-range phone, I bought it in 2021 on a black Friday deal, and still it was cheaper.
17-01-2023 07:55 AM
I love my pad as I can do anything on it
17-01-2023 07:50 AM
I couldnt be without my iphone, terrific camera and so quick to run amazing piece of tech
17-01-2023 07:48 AM
An android app that will scan overhead aircraft and provide details.
17-01-2023 07:47 AM
I love my iPhone. The ability to keep up with friends on social media, run my bank account, and read books on the Kindle app. I’d like better cameras and photo processing.
17-01-2023 07:46 AM
Hi,
Also, please let me win; I'm poor xox
17-01-2023 07:46 AM
iPhone 13 mini. Does everything. They should revive the Motorola razor. Excellent phone. Nice and small. Just needs updating.
17-01-2023 07:41 AM
I love my iPhone but would still like to have the option of a slightly larger screen. I want something slightly larger than a pro-max but still smaller than an iPad mini.
For the future there is still a lot of room to advance mobile tech in eye ware.
17-01-2023 07:39 AM
Love my phone do everything on it shopping emails watching TV would be lost with out it
17-01-2023 07:37 AM
I`m enjoying my Oneplus 7T Mclaren , great phone and stands out from the crowd.
17-01-2023 07:36 AM
I like my smart watch 🙂 After a stroke, I massively improved my lifestyle choices, and seeing my resting heart rate going down to just below 50 was a big goal for me. Having all that health data at my fingertips gave me small goals to work towards. How they get that tech in such a small, discreet design amazes me. Anyway, stay healthy folks, and safe!
17-01-2023 07:36 AM
My hP laptop , perfect for running a small buisness , reliable , great support ,
17-01-2023 07:32 AM
My favourite piece of tech is without a doubt my hearing aids. Made by Phonak and supplied free on the NHS they've transformed my world from muffled difficulty into one of clarity and ease. They've transformed my life and with built in Bluetooth, music streaming direct to my ears is only a click away, plus I never miss a phone call now because the ringing comes through my hearing aids too.
17-01-2023 07:30 AM
The ability to navigate accurately
17-01-2023 07:25 AM
Gamesir x2pro love a bit of gaming and this means I can do it anywhere
17-01-2023 07:20 AM
In future devices, I would love to see the implementation of a holographic display that you can interact with. It is a very futuristic idea but I think this could be a step up in the practicability and diversity of mobile phones.
17-01-2023 07:14 AM
What do you love most about your current devices?
I love the noise cancelling feature or my earbuds. I wasn't sure about picking up galaxy buds as I've never had true wireless earphones before but it's made listening to music on the way to work so much better
17-01-2023 07:12 AM
I was going to say tech communities like this, but this competition was so hard to enter, I have changed my mind.
17-01-2023 07:10 AM
I like all android based phones as easier by farthan apple go android
