These smartphone features are DEAD. Will they come back?

1. Business Opportunity in Ruvol

   I have invented a Board Game [still unpublished and not yet out in the market] that I believe is guaranteed to be as challenging and exciting as CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.”

   It is my hope that one day Ruvol may surpass chess as the “Number One Board Game in the World.”

   The weakness of chess is it always starts in fixed positions that the opening moves become “memorizable.” In fact, not a few have so mastered the moves that they can play against their opponents “blindfolded.” It is for this very reason that the great Bobby Fischer introduced his so-called “Fischer Random Chess,” where the starting position of the pieces is “randomized” to make the memorization of openings impracticable. Fortunately, it is also for this reason that I invented Ruvol where “every game” has been calculated to be a challenging one to play.

   HOW IS RUVOL PLAYED and HOW YOU CAN MONETIZE IT?

   I detailed everything in my YouTube video. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcqth0m3-R0

   BIG MONEY POTENTIAL IN RUVOL!

   It is worthwhile to note that the people who play chess will be the same people who will play Ruvol. In my Google search, I learned there are around 800 million chess players in the world. Even just a small percentage of these 800 million is good enough to earn big money from Ruvol either as an ONLINE GAME BUSINESS or as a PHYSICAL PRODUCT DISTRIBUTOR.

2. I think that a great sound system is much more practical than slim bezels.

3. LED Notification Light with changeable colors

4. The ideal phone would have:
   – removable battery
   – headphone jack
   – flat screen

5. Someone needs to make a phone with an LED light, a not indisplay finger print with, and would love to see a modular customizable phone.

6. I still miss the rear finger print scanners. It was way more convenient than anything else I've tried, and even now I always catch myself swiping down the back where a scanner would've been to bring down the notifications. I feel like it's a change that was made for the sake of having something new, not because it actually was the better technology (although I'm sure in display scanners will get there eventually)

7. 6:23 Quinn xcii story about us you thank me later

8. The removable battrey IS coming back, at least in the EU, as a law is being made.

9. I think in the recent phones Sony Xperia 1ii does have most of the features discussed in this video.

10. Practical person: I need a sturdy phone that fits in my pocket with a reasonable battery life. A spare would be nice. I already have a desktop and a compact camera.
    Company: Well, this will barely fit in your pocket, and the battery is fixed, but you get a mini gaming console and half a dozen camera's you didn't ask for. It might not even break that quickly if you buy a cover.
    Practical person. Oh. Is the battery at least the same as my old phone?
    Company: Yes sir, you can make it to the end of the day with this phone easily.
    Practical person: I don't have to worry about my old phone for a week and it is old now.
    Company: Tough break man. You know what, this new phone is also at least twice as expensive.

11. I miss compact flagships. I really do. I had a Mi 6 and it was the perfect size. Xiaomi doesn't make compact flagships anymore. They're all gigantic now.

12. I miss battery that can last for 3-4 days, or a week even. I miss the Blackberry with wheel on side, last me whole week without charging

13. For me especially rear fingerprint is far mare better than the indisplay fingerprint scanner

14. Samsung S10e is compact

15. I once owned a Sony Xperia Z5 Compact. It was a true gem as it fits any almost any pocket without having to worry about it whenever i sat down or stood up.

16. Never used 3.5mm, used bluetooth from bluetooth 2

17. Id rather have local storage. I don't trust having my personal info on servers

18. when i get a call, i use to get full picture of the caller in my screen, which no longer comes in…
    Its a small circle now where we have the person's picture

19. IR BLASTER!!! PPPPPPPPPPPPPLEASE BRING IT BACK!

20. Agree with below ir blaster.. how good was the old fm radio built in 😂👌 that would be a welcome comeback

21. Rear placed buttons are amazing I can't believe they got rid of them. I wish at the very least they'd put some kind of capacitive buttons on the back. I also wish phones were curved like the LG g4 just enough that actually felt very nice to hold and it was easy to maneuver in your hand.

22. Pay more to get less.
    That is the trends.

23. Wait, Ryan-Thomas is in Android Authority? I thought I was watching FailTech, heh.

24. There were phones with removable battery which were also water resistant.

25. Ironically watching this video in a 2017's Moto Z2 Play with a headphone jack, SD card slot, capacitive fingerprint scanner that supports gestures and a back that could be personalized with Moto Mods

26. Brovo very good video i once had the motorola moto z force actually i still have it as a backup phone.

27. I agree with you on the placement of the fingerprint scanner. It should remain on the rear, no brainer.

28. I still have the rear fingerprint scanner. LG V40

29. Xperia 5 is the compact flagship..
