My favourite device

A few years ago, I had a desktop computer, a laptop and a tablet, but now I only use my smartphone. The ¹ has a great picture and it’s easier to use than a computer mouse and ². The sound on my phone is great too. The ³ is so good that I don’t need to hold the phone next to my mouth when I speak. I can use a ⁴ or Bluetooth® to connect my phone to a ⁵ or scanner to print or scan documents. The phone has 512 GB of ⁶, so there’s plenty of space. Who needs a computer?
