    I really do not want anything innovative in my phone TBH. Android works ok and the heavy lifting is done with apps. I really don’t want Google to move more crappy features into the OS and I really do not need stuff like those LIDAR sensors modern iPhones have. Just give me a smartphone with several years of security updates, enough speed to run my programs without issues, give me a good camera and I’m fine.
