What do you guys want or look for in a smartphone?

[AC Question]

We all want that fancy new smartphone that we'll love to hold in our hands, so what do you guys look for in design, specs, battery life, OS, price anything?

Welcome to Android Central! Having enjoyed the benefit of a Nexus device for more than a year, I'd find it difficult to go back to any phone that comes with mass quantities of bloatware.

One word - Ara. Then I could do with my phone what I do with my desktop - replace parts so it's usable for 10 years.

What I'd really like to see is some new battery technology - the electrical specs of a lead-acid battery with the weight of a lithium battery. Drain it to 0%, and if you charge it within a day or so you didn't hurt it. Maybe more power density too, so I could go a week on a charge.

Removable battery and SD card slot (if for nothing more than resurrecting a hard-bricked phone), of course.

@B. Diddy:
It takes about a minute to debloat a Note 3 - copy the debload script files to the phone, run the script and come back later. (Not that I need to yet - I still have over 22GB free, and I'm a software junky. I just froze a lot of the bloatware, so I don't have to wade through it in the app drawer.)
