Camera is the most important to me. But I have a whole instagram dedicated to mobile photography. I think it’s absolutely amazing to be able to take RAW format photos, edit them in Lightroom Mobile, instantly share them with the rest of the world, and see photos from all around the world. 😊

The single most useful feature - mobility and everything that comes with it 😁

I cannot say internet is the most important because it is now a must on a modern smartphone so I think it's beyond the scope of this discussion.

To me the single most important is camera since I've sold my DSLR and rely completely on my cellphone for photography. Then, the remaining important features include (from the most to the least important):

  1. Fast charge (above 100W);
  2. Wireless charging (preferably above 50W);
  3. Ingress protection.

And yet, the battery life is appalling on most flagship phones. One full day is a joke...

My point exactly. It's the most important feature, yet none of the manufacturers can seem to make it past a day and a half.

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?

The screen is everything. If you can't see what you're doing, everything else is irrelevant.


Well, I guess you could use your phone as a paperweight. 😬

The phone. It is nice to hear people I love, no matter where they are. My most memorable time was I called my mother, who had been admitted to the hospital, I couldn't make it to visit that day, 2 hours later she died.

She was happy to hear my voice.
