There are other uses for two USB-c connections.
Yes ! Do it @Jolla!! No! Do it together !!

What about display brightness?
The phone needs to have a display that is easily readable outside in sunny and bright environment.
There are plenty of phones on the market with proper specifications for this, e.g. reviewed in GSM Arena website.
Built quality MUST be better than C2, things like this must not happen :

Is there one or more specification (that isn’t included in the poll) that Jolla would like us to debate?
Just being curious.

Panel type (OLED), double tap to wake, camera sensor size, TOH, usb-c display… may are not covered in the polls. I hear two bluetooth chips could be a thing - so be creative 
(I for one want a non-hybris phone, a phone without android services at all, just like J1 and pinephone)

I’m not sure if this is hardware or software related, but there should be a way to use the phone with actual car entertainment systems. I got just got a new car (Volkswagen), I can link my Xperia 10 III via Bluetooth, but just the phone connection works, Music has troubles, and there’s no way to mirror the screen. But maybe also a problem on the car system side.
Nevertheless, a useful car integration would be nice (and BTW both Android Auto and Apple Car Play aren’t good at all, especially as they depend on that proprietary assistant software.

That’s all software.

What I am expecting from the next gen Jolla phone:
- Powerful hardware. I did not get the C2 because, well, it’s rubbish. No 5G, no full HD, underpowered CPU. The only upsides are RAM and storage. We can finally have a high-tier phone, so please don’t stick to the “under €600”. Tightwads can get the C2.
- Large display, at least 6”, and NO 21:9. I cannot read the text on my Xperia 10 III when it’s docked in the car. That format is a nightmare. 16:9 would be best, 18:9 barely acceptable. Many say there’s no 5” devices available; maybe there’s a reason for this. We have only ONE chance and let’s go mainstream with format. People who want a 5” device don’t really use their smartphone as they should (or have very very tiny fingers). My XA2 had a great screen format, unfortunately I had to switch to X10III due to insufficient storage. (And it fit perfectly in my pockets.) My Android backup (which I have to carry around to do the uncountable things that SFOS cannot do) is a Redmi 12, 6,79”, and does NOT feel much more an encumbrance than the X10III. (I often carry both of them in the same pocket and cannot tell immediately which is which.)
- Full HD (or extension thereof), maybe some more resolution, don’t exceed since it slows things down a lot.
- More than enough memory and storage to be future-proof (since we will probably have to keep it for several years) but not too much to avoid useless cost. I set my options to 12 GB/256 GB, that should be more than enough. SD card is not the same as internal memory, especially for Android apps.
- Nevertheless, SD card slot. It’s crucial to save data (especially media) in case the phone bricks.
- Good camera, i. e. large sensor and OIS, even if it requires a bump. No need for megapixels. My bridge camera has 16 megapixels and beats the crap off any phone. Some kind of optical zoom (as in Xperia 10 VI) would be better than additional cameras (because you can use zoom on the good sensor rather than with a fake one).
- Android access to Bluetooth. That’s a must to use smartwatches. SFOS is cut off from this (except for some devices thanks to some users’ efforts, but without a full-fledged vendor app).
- Android access to USB port. Possibly with tested Android Auto support.

Would a Unisoc T8300 SoC be powerful enough for the NG Jolla phone?
How people should use their smart phones? Asking for a friend who is not sure if they are using their phone correctly.

- Accessing web sites (and with most modern ones you cannot really do that on 5” because of the layout)
- Car navigation (see above, I cannot read indications when the phone is docked)
- Writing emails (it’s hard to type on a keyboard on a 5” screen)
- Accessing remote desktops e. g. via Chrome Remote Desktop (try reading a remote desktop screen on 5”, or worse interacting with it)
- Accessing miscellaneous web resources (an example suited to me, using the Phrase online translator tool)
This is a quick sample of things that are very hard or impossible to do on 5”, but that are much easier on a (wide) 6-6.5” screen.

Definitely not.
I hope at the very least a Snapdragon 7 Gen 2.

To me half of these sounds more like poor UI/UX design by web/app developers than a screen size issue? It feels like either remote desktop usage on phone is a rare borderline case that wouldn’t feel good on any size phone, or someone is regularly using the wrong tool for the job.

For screen size i would prefer a larger screen simply because:
- my eyesight is not getting better
- most web sites do not scale well with increased font size
- typing on a larger screen is a lot easier, less typos, 10iii is a struggle to type vs C2
- more use of phone to accomplish tasks, eg email, browsing, etc
