There are some nice things that could get standardized or available as an option for every mould:
- physical buttons for shooting
- physical buttons for volume
- back cover should be e-ink for light notification or reading books in the train without killing autonomy

- johnchristopher 10y agoThere is the https://yotaphone.com/us-en/ https://yotaphone.com/us-en/ but I feel it's not updated fast enough to be considered by consumers when looking to replace their current middle or high-end smartphones. edit: I see http://www.inkcase.com/en.html http://www.inkcase.com/en.html refactors the idea of an e-ink smartphone into a case with an e-ink panel.
