Quietly getting smarter, with live translation and editable text from photos that he finds pretty cool.

Hugely ahead of its time for camera hardware, but crippled by dead Symbian software, and not as good as an S20 Ultra.

Solid hardware, but it gets buried under many equally affordable phones that do more.

A sideloadable launcher he thinks is one of the better-looking and faster ones available.
