Removable dual display like in LG G8x, V60 etc. When you need it you can have a beast of a phone with 2 screen or a slim normal flagship.
i'm certain this is going to be a just me thing but i'm a nostalgic fool and would love a notch in the casing to put a lanyard/phone strap. that, and a physical keyboard. if you could get modern android and a good camera in the form factor of the original motorola razr i'd be so happy lol
A Silent/Vibrate/Ring switch like on the OnePlus phones, headphone jack and a easily swappable battery.
- Slim form factor
- No notch
- No camera bump, even if at a cost in camera quality.

Aluminium back instead of plastic or glass
My brother had one of the original Moto X phones which had this neat gesture where you waved over the screen and it turned on to show you your notifications. I think it was a basic proximity sensor thing, but it was super useful when the phone was on the table.
Can't believe I haven't seen it since.

The literal only thing keeping me on iOS/MacOS is the system wide glass transparency, continuity, and the battery life. I wish to Christ that Android/Windows/Linux would get their shit together.
My ideal system would be Android + Ubuntu with full glass UI and continuity between them.
So, your killer criteria are glass UI? I do agree on Windows Laptop battery life.

I got a Samsung note and can't go back to a non-stylus phone now. my fingers are too fat to press keys accurately. not a niche feature I know but I also would definitely buy any stylus phone that also had an SD card slot. the note 20 ultra last the last two have it and I won't be upgrading ever unless someone invents case technology to incorporate SD card slots
