What parts would you use to build your dream smartphone?

Entry-level to mid-range specs, 4GB to 6GB of LPDDR4x or LPDDR5, 64GB to 128GB of UFS 3.0+ storage, no microSD slot, non-user-removable Li-polymer battery of at least 4000mAh (but higher quality design/materials than usual for an entry-level device), Corning Gorilla Glass 3 and up on a 720p+ 90+Hz 500+nits OLED panel of at least 6 inches (hole punch, not tear-drop, and only on the version with optional selfie-cam/video-call capability - 8Mpixel minimum), IP54 or better water and dust protection, USB-C OTG with 15W fast-charging, optional (with or without) dual rear cameras (Sony sensors, Zeiss optics?) of at least 13Mpixel main and 5Mpixel wide-angle (120+ degree field of vision)/macro/depth with two-tone LED flash, 5nm... or below... octa-core chip (likely a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 or better), good NR(5G)-SA support in at least the US, 4G LTE support for everywhere (and GSM for 'everywhere else', too), Android 14 with no crazy manufacturer UI skin/overlay, NFC, Bluetooth 5.1+, WiFi 6, fingerprint reader in power button (on side?), nanoSIM or eSIM (why not both?), decent design principles and materials, AND costing under $150 MSRP unlocked thanks to mass-production/economies-of-scale... tall order, I know, but a guy can dream, right?

That's all I ask, now the question is how can I build it?

Fundraising ?

Aspect ratio like Samsung Note 4, no protruding parts - it’s better if it’s thicker so there will be more space for the battery (battery 6000 minimum)

I apologize in advance if I'm being rude with my remark but doesn't it seem like only iPhone users tend to ask themselves these types of questions? While iPhone users wish they had it I'm busy buying them because I can. Without Android, there wouldn't be any of these different choices of cool and awesome form factors, camera lenses, exciting and innovative tech. iPhone users need to grow a pair for one. Get out of their perceived comfort zone and try something new. I'm sure that one of the many Android Oems across the globe can offer their dream phone. I'm sure Samsung can completely satisfy many with their plethora of phones, foldables and flips.

I'd use the screen of my Flip5, the frame of my Flip5, the backside of my Flip5, the internals of my Flip5 and the software of my Flip5.

Pretty much the Flip5.

If you're a tech writer and you're arguing against using better tech with the argument that you can't use a phone with slightly different looking menus and icons, you're not a tech writer. You're an insecure influencer.

So you chose to be a negative nancy instead of simply just play along? Okay. I'll play your game.

"Get out of their perceived comfort zone and try something new."

Have you taken your own advice & tried using an iPhone as your daily driver? If you have I pretty sure you discovered it lacks things you wish it has, right? How do you think an iPhone user would feel for trying something new?

"I'm sure that one of the many Android Oems across the globe can offer their dream phone. I'm sure Samsung can completely satisfy many with their plethora of phones, foldables and flips."

This sentence here means that it has not been done yet. So like the title says, "What parts would you use to build your dream smartphone?", to which I'll add, because it hasn't been built yet; on either platform.

S24U chassis with a headphone jack, IR blaster, MicroSD card slot, pop-up camera, more powerful speakers, pop-out replaceable battery, maintain water resistance, offer choice of materials since glass is fragile.

These phones used to be more technically capable. I just want to get back to that and quit making Android iPhones.
