A Motorola Droid 4 (SLIDE IN KEYBOARD FUCK YES) with a 5" screen and more recent components. Hell, use mid-high end from 2018, like 3GB RAM and a decent processor would be more than enough for me. Don't forget the earphone jack and easily removable back.
In the realm of pure fantasy, a stealth boy from Fallout, or the similar Stealth thingy from Metal Gear Solid
A very cheap smartphone that is decent performance-wise and comes with Lineage, Graphene OS or something similar.
A machine that can turn thoughts/dreams into video, image, or other mediums.
A lightsaber
Monitor replacement glasses, like NReal Air, that actually are a good enough replacement for my second screen to allow a full day of work.
Regular looking glasses with live captioning. We get close but it always seems just out of reach.
A modern electric compact truck like the 1992 gmc sonoma.
Firefox OS
A fairphone with the specs of the ROG phone, or just a repairable rog phone.
a 4k 240hz oled monitor
LFP phone batteries.
Star Trek Industrial Replicator...Star Trek has never really had an episode that explored the magic of what you could do if you had a replicator. Just having ONE, would change the world overnight, and forever. I'd start replicating replicators and handing them out.
The smartphone that I allways remember missing the most is the Nokia E7, it was such a cool phone.
The design is beautiful, the physical keyboard was amazing, sure Symbian wasn't the fastest or the most modern OS, but with Anna and later Belle it worked well.
I remember sitting in the lobby of a hospital with my E7, I ran Putty Touch on it and was connected to my friend's SSH server, and had connected to my irssi screen session, I had configured touch gestures to scroll in the IRC chat and to switch irssi windows based on if I swiped up/down or left/right, the physical qwerty keyboard made the phone look like a tiny laptop, and I felt like such a hacker.
I was working a job I hated, but on the way home I would watch movies on the phone, and it worked so well.
It was an awesome phone, and someone else thought so too and it was pickpocketed, a year after I got it.
A phone like that is what I want
I would like a smart stove. One that you can set to turn on and off remotely. No more worrying that I left the stove on. Why not I ask you? Why not?
I would say off only with the capability to view temps. IoT devices are shit when it comes to security and turning on remotely just scares the hell outta me. This is from someone whose whole house is decked out in IoT stuff.
Your second wish already exists. It's made by a company called nexdock. I think you can plug your phone in or run it over bluetooth/WiFi.
a gaming laptop that doesnt overheat constantly ,mine goes up to 80c when im playing overwatch of all games
An unbreakable device that can transport me to any world or time I want It has the be light, small, and not suspicious-looking, and I need to be able to transport the device to me at any time. The things that happen during my visits would not actually affect reality, but instead it would kind of create an alternative universe.
So if I went back in time and killed some historical figure, then returned to this reality, they wouldn't have been killed by me. Or if I went to the fictional world of a book and killed some character, it would happen in a different reality that the one the book takes place in. (otherwise I would have a constant fear of fucking up the entire universe.)
And, of course, I would have to gain the ability to understand, speak, write and read the languages. Also I would have to be immune to diseases they spread and they would have to be immune to the diseases I spread.
Or maybe I have to be a little more humble and say that I want a robot that could clean my room and put all my items in the correct places.
Something like the Gvido E-Ink tablet for working with sheet music, but without all the proprietary bullshit and closed software.
An updated Samsung Galaxy Note with a quality stylus (Similar to the one for Note 2), and no bloatware that cannot be uninstalled.
Samsung always has tonnes of bloatware, and the newer Note styluses are (and feel like) cheap plastic. Give me back the aluminum stylus, ffs.
