Frustrated with an inability to find a phone that at least meets my minimum preferred specs I have been daydreaming about my fantasy phone. I am curious to hear other people's opinions and their own fantasies.

My fantasy phone is a productivity build

8-8.5" 16:9 flat screen 2560×1440 OLED display, no notch or hole (near zero side bezels in portrait mode, head/chin big enough to support speakers)
best power optimized current/high end processors (doesn't have to be the fastest as this is not a gaming rig but it should find the current efficiency+speed sweet spot)
8GB NVRAM (to support true deep sleep in nano watt power ranges in airplane mode for weeks/months of standby time)
256G - 1T Flash st...

Which apps that benefit from ADB do you value the most?

I bet quite a few of us have managed to enable ADB on our smartphones. With tons of help from xda & reddit, I managed to do it a few days ago.


So lets share apps that benefit (or require) adb the most (and if at all possible, please include a link :)

I'll start with:
