    Come on give us the bloody X and tell us that we have to remortgage our houses to buy it.

    I think the X will be at the very end of the whole event as the big surprise.

    TBH I use my phone primarily as a camera and mini laptop for emails, Facebook, reading, buying stuff, etc. I hardly ever make phonecalls on it. The camera functionality will be a massive selling point for me.

    Battery will only last an hour playing a game like that with camera on all the time.

    So basically the watch is now your phone and the phone is now your camera and games console.

    I want wireless charging where I walk into a place or down the street and my phone is charging. Just like wifi/mobile coverage.

    Not put it on a station or pad.

    Wireless charging is great. But what happens when you need to charge the phone and use it?

    The AR while cool and maybe a draw for some gamers doesn't strike me as something that will bring in droves of your average customers as the next big thing say like the the smartphone itself and app market

    Probably be ok for placing furniture to see what it looks like in your living room or something like the current dulux paint app

    Very meh tbh but still cool in itself
