First of all, props to the admin who had the brilliant idea for this kind of forum.
I'v noticed on the frontpage, devices selected for battery, camera, etc... But I didn't find any "reliability" contest..
For the cars, Toyota for example has great resell value, and that's because it's reliable.
But when we come to the phone industry, there's litte to no reliability even with the "flagship, spaceships
, and flag killers" whatsoever.
Actually it's not only that, but is seem that "Apple" philosophy to force the market to buy new things as soon as 2 or 3 years are passed has been adopted as well by Android devices.
Since... After 2 years, if the phone isn't bricked or dead , then the software (or lack of it) renders it obsolete.
I remember reading an article from a professor who had done a research that basically the vendors explicitly devise a method to render the phone unusable after a certain period of time.
So, the concept of my ideal phone would be:
1) Carbon fiber material with carbon fiber cylinders inside to render it VERY strong
2) Modular as in "easy to repair" (a similar concept to https://www.fairphone.com/ ) which btw is not that fair since they don't allow you to change the motherboard, and you must pay a hefty price to get it changed - or buy a new phone [on the loop again].
3) Graphene Circuits (stronger then diamond, 200x times stronger then steel) chips which can be plugged in and out of the phone.
4) Saphire screen.
5) Open Source software with LTS (long time support) versions and the freedom to root, unlock lock etc the phone at the users will with an easy interface.
What are your thoughts?
