Batteries with same size but higher capacity = higher density
Higher density = less cycles than battery of lower density and same capacity

AnonD-558092, 05 Jan 2020Hey I have a Note9 and I enjoy it very much, but I know tha... moreThere is something else.
For example a phone as small as Sony XZ1 Compact does not have space to add Qi coil, 3 rear cameras (especially a bigger one like 1/1.5" or 1/1.3") , battery above 3.000 mAh etc ...
People that love small flagships would lose many features compared to bigger phones.
I do not own one, but form factor of Nokia 8 Sirocco is perfect (except the curved screen).
5,5" 16:9 , but only 14cm ......
Honored mention to Sony ZL. 5" 16:9 but 13,1 cm ....

I honestly am not really expecting or looking forward to any features or technology being released in 2020. If you think about it, there has been little in phone development for the past 3 years , maybe bigger batteries, slightly better cameras. The whole notch thing was a joke from apple and I was really disappointed when the android sheep followed suit. Maybe we can move past that in 2020 , but who knows. Perhaps a faint glimmer of excitement for the moto razr folding phone, maybe for folks that like small phones that would be functional. The rest of the folding phones/tablets are a total experiment at the moment and seem to have years to go.

The Android Freak, 05 Jan 2020Get rugged case. Invest some money. That's the thing, "get a case". I didn't buy a shiny device to cover it with a case.
And haven't I already invested money in the phone? Why should I pay more for it to survive the warranty period? It should be able to do that out of the box.
Soon they'll start making phones out of paper and people will be like "it's fine, just get a case". Maybe it's time to demand more for the over $1000 price tag, don't you think?

Camera is more important than anything else... full bezeless smartphone won't be comfortable to hold in hand! so thin or slim bezels is perfect!

AnonD-558092, 05 Jan 2020I'd also like a Galaxy Alpha 2020James, most of costumers are from Asia.
Except in Japan , most like big phones.
Then brands make only big phones.
Soon we wont seen phones with less than 15 cm.
For my hands, 14,5 cm is the max ... My pockets cant handle a 17cm phone.

Let's ignore high MP cameras. We all know that they will be in binned mode all the time so those 100+MP numbers are phony. However there will be bigger sensors this year and this is something to be looking for.
Under display selfie cameras are cool. Never took a selfie, never will so I'd rather have my viewing experience not ruined by something futile like this. Then again I'm fine with a small bezel.
I'll let foldables improve in durability before considering them.
High refresh rates... I guess I'll have to see it to know if it's great or just hype.
Faster charging... meh. It's already fast enough for me.
AR replacing VR. Really? Yawn. Overhyped junk that failed gets replaced by other overhyped junk.
