Correct answer above. For me it's a tool I use for many, many types of communications and personal business. No one thing stands out. But I will say this...the camera is the least important! Now where's my flame suit?

LOL. It's all about preference. Camera's neither the most or least important for me, but it's in my top 5. I'm more concerned about the overall experience because like you mentioned, it's a tool for many, many things. What good is having a great camera on a smartphone if the display makes the pictures look like there from a flip phone?

When you’re on an app-deprived platform like webOS or Windows Phone you quickly learn the importance of a capable web browser.

Yeah, you can learn that on iOS too. I use Samsung Internet on Android. I have never found anything as useful and user-friendly on iOS. I hate Chrome because of the difficulty of getting at bookmarks and the lack of a quick access page and Chrome is as good as it gets on iOS

A good OLED display with high refresh rate. I mean come on, the display has to be important since it's what you're looking at all day right?

Didn't the LG G5 have a power off button? On the front? I might be wrong

I was wrong. I looked it up. There is a smartphone for the disabled in my country that has a physical power on and power off button

The most and one and only super important for me is the internet connection. And the most beloved is the camera. I'm so addicted to travel and make a shots only with the mobile in my pocket.
