I think that tech companies (some) are hearing you and are trying to get back to the basics. Others are getting caught up way too far in the fray with this animoji and ARmoji crud. Just give me a good display, capable processor, bluetooth tricks, headphone jack, and a great camera and I'll be set. Right now Samsung seems to be the only one that does all that. One Plus too but their camera game isn't as strong, especially when compared to the new S9
