For me? Basic functionality. Even the Pixel 9 Pro is laggy as hell just opening apps like Garmin. God forbid I try to use the browser for anything. And that's a flagship phone.

I know it's the crazy badly designed apps, but I can't change that. What I can change is a phone that can run them.

Also, it's nice to be able to occasionally take a picture that's not completely washed out and looks like it was taken with a pre-OG Razer flip phone. No joke, I have pictures from that old flip phone 120x120 pixel screen!) from 20 years ago that look better than what came off the mid range phones I've tried in the last few years. I'm confident it's just poor implementation of much more capable hardware, but it doesnt change the fact that I can't even expect to use it for the most basic of functions.

Strange, I am rarely experiencing any lag on my four year old mid-range model, browser included. Maybe we have a very different perception of what lag is? Or maybe you have an insane amount of background processes running that bogs down your phone?

Camera is not great, but I always have a good time looking back at pictures taken with it and it is certainly much, much better than what I took 10 years, let alone 20. If your flip phone took better pictures, something is wrong and there could be ways to fix that.
