Honestly, I do want a better smartphone. Not better as in more pixels or processing power, but more features.
My P8P has a temperature sensor on it. Every phone I own moving forward is gonna need that now cuz I use it for all kinds of shit basically daily, great tool for a SMART device.
I miss IR blasters, they weren't as useful but they had their place
I miss the short time period where volume and lock buttons were on the backs of phones.
More weird sensors and functionality that might prove useful in niche situations, please.
They keep saying they upgraded the cameras but they are still limited to the visible spectrum.
Didn't OnePlus have a special camera which ended up being updated away because it would see through people's clothes?
It could what?!
I don't know if there were any cases of that happening, but it could see through some types of plastic
It sounds a lot more scandalous than it was, but yeah. I found this photo. As you can see, you can't really see the dude's body, but you can see the details of box underneath his shirt.
Ty for example.
I believe that was a slight visibility in the UV spectrum. Like, if the color of undergarments didn't match the outfit, then it would glow. I don't know much more about it.
Honestly, a UV camera/filter for the front camera would be useful for things like applying sunscreen. I've contemplated making a smart mirror with that type of functionality.
Ditto. Literally the only thing I find myself using my Flipper Zero for these days. Wish more devices had this feature.
yeah i still whip out my old redmi note 4 whenever i need to use some obscure appliance that only works with ir.
the thing's annoying af tho, the battery's dies after like 5 minutes, barely able to charge and turns off randomly, the thing takes 5 minutes to boot and the os is ridiculously slow with all the modern updates
I miss my notification LED. My first android phone was a Nexus 6, and I loved that big old thing. I rooted it and made it link up to my medication tracker so it would be a different colour when I had taken medication Vs when I was due (alarms work for medication you take on a schedule, but less so for PRN meds like painkillers)
