I went through my late teens as the initial smart phone boom was happening. I had a Motorola q that could get TV channels and had a keyboard. I had the enV that flipped open. And many androids/blackberries that I loved for their unique form factor and functionality.

I have never balked at spending money on a phone and for a long time i felt locked into generic flagship devices. With the debut of folding screens I feel like my appetite for unique devices rekindled. I think the power of android lies in its diversity of implementation.

So what features and functionalities would you choose over the next flagship release?

I've really tried hard with these usb-c headphones / adapters and they just don't work very well for me. They function mostly, but much more often come unplugged or slightly ajar.

Because the audio jack is the perfect connector for its purpose: It's omnidirectional, the connection is as wide as it comes, and it locks the plug. The point for using a USB-C connector would be that it's more versatile as you can use it for data transfer and power as well.

Yeah it's just crazy that you have to always keep them around. I own a qudelik 5k And I have a couple cheap adapters that came with tablets or something but I never remember to have them on me.

Maybe if you have a wallet case you could kind of stick it in there but otherwise they're just too easy to lose.
