This is more of a software thing, but:
The Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact (and I think some other Xperias) shipped with a 3D Creator, a 3D scanner app. I found this out after having decided on the XZ2c for other feature reasons (mainly it being smol) but as a 3D printing dabbler, this was an exciting bonus.
Was it easy to use? Kinda
Could it produce scans with enough accuracy to be useful in 3D printed part design? Maybe
Did I ever get around to using it for that? Nope
Was it fun to scan all my friends' heads with and mess around with the gimmicky facial animations? HELL YEAH
My brother had one of the original Moto X phones which had this neat gesture where you waved over the screen and it turned on to show you your notifications. I think it was a basic proximity sensor thing, but it was super useful when the phone was on the table.
Can't believe I haven't seen it since.
The literal only thing keeping me on iOS/MacOS is the system wide glass transparency, continuity, and the battery life. I wish to Christ that Android/Windows/Linux would get their shit together.
My ideal system would be Android + Ubuntu with full glass UI and continuity between them.
So, your killer criteria are glass UI? I do agree on Windows Laptop battery life.
Emphatically, yes. Glass UI is the most polished design paradigm ever created. Flat and opaque just looks really boring and doesn’t make me want to use the UI; it just screams low quality to me.
I got a Samsung note and can't go back to a non-stylus phone now. my fingers are too fat to press keys accurately. not a niche feature I know but I also would definitely buy any stylus phone that also had an SD card slot. the note 20 ultra last the last two have it and I won't be upgrading ever unless someone invents case technology to incorporate SD card slots
