I think phones from 8 years ago were fine, but phones from the last 3-5 years are in my opinion basically fully developed.
Good batteries, good cameras that are no longer really getting better (we’ve looped back to the megapixel wars), basically desktop class chips that can run full 3d games or even AR with on the fly ML. They’re waterproof, the glass is durable (I dropped a Pixel Pro down the stairs onto ceramic tile yesterday and it’s perfectly fine), antennas are super fast, NFC works, they support strong encryption quickly… The screens are all super high def OLED with HDR and amazing colour quality which looks amazing and I’ve never seen one burn in.
Really the only new stuff to add is generative AI for like text completion, and that doesn’t even run reasonay on 99% of desktops.
