They should really stop over saturating the market by releasing new models every year with little to no meaningful upgrades.

Even mid-range phones nowadays are good enough to last long after they stop receiving updates, it therefore makes little financial sense (for the average consumer) to buy the newest model every year, not even touching on the environmental impact.

They could try innovating, I couldn't give a shite about the cameras really. If I want to take proper photos I'll get a DSLR. I'll never want their smart processing of pics either.

Give me cool features again.

I want my phone to be usable with a dock where I can put in a keyboard, mouse and screen to use as a PC like the steam deck.

Isn't Samsung DEX exactly that?
