Ask HN: What would be your ideal phone (smartphone)

1 points by dzonga ↗ HN
I'm not happy with iOS 11. Just wanted to know, what other people's ideal phone (smartphone) would look be ? right now my daily driver is an SE, really solid...fast processor, now kinda shitty OS. An ideal smartphone, would be something in an SE form-factor, with a the looks of an S8, OLED display. Also display should able to display text in eInk / ePaper form.....like maybe through dimming blue background light. I use my phone to read a lot on the subway, that's why!

If the iPhone X had a fingerprint reader instead of the face scanner, or in addition to the face scanner, then I think it would be pretty good for me.

As it is, I see no reason to upgrade my iPhone 7 Plus to an iPhone 8/8 Plus or the iPhone X.

I think I can wait for a while longer.
