If I have money and the knowledge to build a phone, surely i will make it possible one day.

But I don't know why new innovative people are not getting into smartphone making.

Everyone is trying to make the next big software. But why that grit is missing to bring the variety into small hardware devices that target majority?

Or, is it not reaching people like me? Is it the lack of awareness?

One reason is the modem, proprietary blob

I think another reason is sourcing good parts that aren't old and bulky, speaking from the Linux phones I tried

Also drivers somebody has to write em

I used to be annoyed that you had to choose between Android or iOS

I wish android phones had lidar
