By far my most favorite use is as a notepad that I always have with me. I use the Typewise keyboard to type quickly and accurately and it’s routinely very useful.
Anything y’all like to do with your phones that you feel like most people miss out on?

It’s probably a tie between wikipedia and flashlight.
The phone flashlight is absurdly useful to me. I think I end up using it almost every single day.
Another use that comes to mind is google lens. Really easy and quick translation, and it helps me figure out what various random items are called - thrifting finds or plants, for example.
I literally keep Google lens open on my hand at the Japanese supermarket. So fucking helpful in the soy sauce aisle and in general. I actually know what I’m buying!
If the phone flashlight is so useful, try carrying a legit flashlight for a while. They’re loads better. I’d suggest one of the smaller offerings from rovyvon. Any of them are great, but I like the ones with two lenses and a rechargeable plus AAA battery compartment. It’s the size of a car key fob, lasts a long time, charges over USB c, and goes from super dim to insanely bright.
Oh, I’m aware and I largely agree. I’ve got a nitecore Tini SS and it’s both adorable and really useful.
One thing I’ve found extremely useful is carrying a small headlamp around - specifically a Nitecore NU20. Having hands-free lighting is so handy. Although, come to think of it, I wonder if I could modify the Tini to serve that purpose…
