I wouldn't mind a thicker smart phone if it had a keyboard attached.

A Moto G4 Plus but with smaller bezels, stereo front speakers, Lumia 1020 camera, and NFC support.

>>56083481
3.5" screen
comfy bezels (read: large)
home + lock buttons
1080p
1gb of ram, maybe less
about 1000mah, i don't need much
fuck cameras
strenghted glass could be a bonus, but i don't care
glass back so it looks good and better cellular connection
rounded edges
camera again doesn't matter
same, no logo
what's the use of NFC?
fuck additional buttons
usb 3/lightning connector

right now using iPhone 4s(iOS 6), it's ok.

A Sharp Aquos without the front camera and bottom bezel, and a bigger battery.

>>56085108
What's the point of having 1080p on a 3.5" screen? Also why >=1gb ram? Both of these combined, you'll have a very laggy phone.

>physically

An iPhone 5S or 16:9 4S design with the 5S' thickness.

>internally

Just high specs, no sticking out camera, also at least 500 PPI.

iPhone 4s is 960p, has 512mb ram and is very snappy. I think the specs increase is proportional.

>>56085186
iOS 6, though. Current iOS 9.3 brings my first-gen iPad mini (also 512mb) to a grinding halt, and it's screen res is 1024x768.

>>56085206
>A man can dream.
Shit, if I had the money and knowledge to actually design/manufacture something like this and put it to market, I would.

>>56085255
The hardware is more or less doable through campains/kickstarters/startup initiatives and other kikery.
the problem is, mainly in the software. Where would we ever dig for a decent linux for a mobile phone? Maybe, sailfish?.. or, dunno, ubongo mobile?
And the open bootloader? something like TWRP/CWM?

>>56085333
>Where would we ever dig for a decent linux for a mobile phone?
Well, since we're talking x86, really any distribution would do. Drivers should be fine by using Intel based hardware too.
The real issue software-wise would be the desktop environment. Maybe a custom GNOME fork with some modifications made to how it handles window management, such as running everything maximized by default, automatically throwing new windows on a new desktop, and such.
>And the open bootloader? something like TWRP/CWM?
I was thinking a conventional UEFI solution like on any desktop/laptop to allow for installing an OS (and bootloader) of your choice through normal means. Could ship with syslinux or LILO as its stock bootloader.

>>56085466
well, I don't know if I share your views on intel's mobile hardware, - after all, ARM is better at energy management, and intel has been known as the OEM that puts backdoors in its chips. Still, there's not much point in freetarding here, since all of the GSM chips have complex proprietary drivers.
Hardware questions aside, the DE would have to be written from a scratch. I believe it could be wiser to use Qt (it already has had its role in mobile GUIs development, so there would be a couple of devs familiar with it) instead of GTK+ - also because the latter has taken a strange turn in its development guide, such as breaking retrocompatibility and sudden change of release cycle, which is definitely not for good. Ironically, the experience in the tiling WM programming could even come handy this time - that's, roughly, how the phone's GUI usually work - flashy bullshit animations aside.
As for the bootloader - yeah, I guess that depends on chipset. And, outside of libre/coreboot, I know nothing about FOSS UEFI solutions. And those ones have a very restricted range of compatible devices, AFAIK

>>56085656
>ARM is better at energy management
This was true in recent years, but nowadays not so much. Intel's mobile chips are very power efficient. ARM remains king of the mobile market for other reasons. The purpose of going with x86 for this is that it would allow the device to be used for, well, everything you'd otherwise use an x86 computer for. Paired with displayport/thunderbolt over USB-C, you'd have a device that could actually legitimately replace a laptop or tablet for mobile computing.
Think Microsoft's Continuum concept taken a step further for full desktop functionality.

>...DE would have to be written from a scratch...
Makes sense. I mentioned GNOME because its interface, ignoring third-party applications, is generally fairly touch-friendly. Like its nice big full-screen launcher with big well spaced icons, that would work well on a small touchscreen. The way it dynamically manages desktops would work wonders as well. Naturally though, these could be incorporated in a completely new DE as well.

>As for the bootloader - yeah, I guess that depends on chipset. And, outside of libre/coreboot, I know nothing about FOSS UEFI solutions. And those ones have a very restricted range of compatible devices, AFAIK
Aside from feeling good about it, there wouldn't be much point in going FOSS for this anyway. As long as it works and has the necessary options for boot devices to support booting from an external USB.
Maybe options to disable or enable certain hardware features like your GPS, bluetooth, and suchlike too.

I don't really know how getting UEFI going actually works regarding whether it had to be developed in-house or if Intel ships a solution with their chipsets, though I'd assume it's something about Intel providing documentation and then manufacturer/vendor developing their UEFI for their specific device.

This is essentially the Moto E second gen, but 480p. And it runs great.

What's the fixation on physical keyboards? They're slower than gesture typing AND requires the use of two hands.

>>56087682
Also forgot to mention.

>dual front facing speakers
>microSD slot

Also, I would make 1/4 or so of the keyboard be small paper screen thingies so you can have the keyboard slide out to the side and to the front. That's the only ridiculous thing I really want.

Personal preference and accuracy. I can

All for only a slight wpm reduction. My phone's main purpose is text input, I'm going to use the phone I find best for that, which means a physical keyboard.
Also
>requires use of two hands
I type one handed on my phone's keyboard all the time.

What worries me greatly is that the fucking google / swiftkey keyboard still doesnt have a "stick to top" option, which would make writing with one hand a LOT easier, since writing with your thumb close to the edge is very uncomfortable and feels like the phone is going to fall off your hand any moment. Theres a detachable kb option but it's awful, since it doesn't use all the screen space efficiently (which in small screen phones makes it essentially useless)

>>56083481

Hit it all on the head senpai save for

>5.2-inch perfectly siz-

NO. 5" is perfect, 5.2" is a bee's dick too big.

>USB 3 connector

It's called Type C with UFS storage

>>56087741
Yeah, we know the older folks around here never properly learned how to use a swype keyboard.

For god's sake, the physical keyboards they put on phones are just about the only keyboard type in the world that feels WORSE to type on than a touchscreen. Those things are cramped, have really disgusting tactile feedback, and are just general shit.

>>56087871
You've clearly never used a good phone keyboard. They fucking wreck touchscreen keyboards.

>>56083481 Redmi note 3 pro with copperhead os.

>>56083481
If I made phones I'd make two.

First one would have no headphone jack, no charging port, etc. Wireless charging, Bluetooth, all that jazz. Normies would get used to it. Easy to waterproof and make look nice. Matte plastic body (metal transfers energy in to screen when dropped; this is why you see so many cracked iPhones), thick enough to squeeze a 4000mAh battery in and have a flush camera, no hardware buttons (nothing to wear out, would have to think up something for power). SoC/RAM is irrelevant as long as it's good enough for most uses. You see where this one is going.

Second one would be full autismo. Removable battery, SD, actual buttons for home, volume, and power, USB Type C (might as well push the new connector and get it over with). Headphone jack. All that good stuff.

Stock Android for both with under the hood improvements matched to the hardware. No need to fuck with the UI because Google already did a good enough job. Update internals every couple of years to keep up with Android. Nothing else needs to be bothered with.

We live in a time where the software and hardware is there and manufacturers are just autistic and want to hurt their bottom line by making stupid choices. TouchWiz and other shitty skins are not helpful.

I'm pretty much ripping off the S5 active but with improvements and lower price

Off topic: After my contract with the ATT jews ends is it worth getting a nexus and going with Google Fi? I may as well embrace the botnet if I'm going to use Android anyway

4" screen because I have small hands and if all you want to do is call people 5" is overkill
bezels can be not minimally sized because that way it's easier to hold
dedicated navigation buttons
physical keyboard (flip out)
720p or under, why would you need a desktop-tier resolution on a calling apparatus?
1 GB of RAM should be enough
replaceable battery
camera not a must, but if there's one it should be really high quality
scratch resistance not needed because I'm not a fucking idiot who puts his phone in his bag / pocket unprotected or drops it

Yes. If you go over on data they'll just add it to your bill instead of charging insane overage fees, so basically you use what you need without being punished. Works good too. Not being locked into a 2 year contract also gives me peace of mind.
>I may as well embrace the botnet if I'm going to use Android anyway
Or just unlock the bootloader and flash a custom ROM. I have a Nexus 5 still. Runs Cyanogenmod ROM. It's Android 6.0.1. Also flashed a custom Kernal to improve battery life. Samsung phones are shit and I've never been happier with a Nexus. Unlocking the bootloader is incredibly easy. Takes 10 minutes. Then flash a custom ROM and you'll have almost zero buttnet.

Nice, I've heard good things about it but I wasn't sure if it was too good to be true. I was planning on rooting my s5 active but I've had it for a year now and don't want to have to worry about backing shit up and possibly losing data, not that I'm too stupid to do it correctly, I just don't want to go through the trouble until I get my next phone.

I normally buy a generation behind so I'll probably get the Nexus 6 when the 7 comes out. It'll be nice to not have to worry about data.

It's also the Shitty Canadian chipset.

I know it's a rip off but I've never bought a new phone ever, this current phone s4 has a annoying issue where it constantly says cannot find sim card must restart and HAS to restart I literally cannot do anything aside from click restart.

it's alot of money but I just won some money, and I figure id like to actually buy a brand new phone for once

I think my perfect phone would be like a brick phone similar to a fuckin ancient Nokia but with a solid os like android, a good web browser and like a thinkpad track nub.

Stylus
Large battery, removable (maybe 2)

Quick Charge
3 USB C ports, one on top two on bottom
Headphone jack on top with dedicated DAC/amp
6+ physical buttons on the side with recognizable shapes
Rotating wheel style volume control
No buttons on front
Cyanogenmod ready
>=1080p
No logos
NFC
Back camera
Powerful back LED
Widest and latest BT, 4G, wifi norms
At least 9mm thick
No biometric bullshit, one camera is enough, one speaker is enough
Accessories: wallet style case, physical keyboard

Would pay up to $1200.

- Sell more chargers
- Make their users advertise that they own an iPhone since they are always looking for a charger (I swear, it's always the Apple ones)
- They have to cater to skinny jean wearing hipsters

1. Out of the box has TWRP and Cyanogenmod (with root) installed, along with an optional installer for Gapps.
2. Removable/Replaceable battery.
3. MicroSD card slot.
4. 32 GB or more of flash storage on the phone itself.
5. Xperia-style waterproof.
6. Best gorilla glass possible.
7. Rapid charging.

The only way Swipe/autocorrect works better than physical keyboards, is if you're a 16-year old fuccboi that only types memes and shares let's plays with your friends. Literally anyone with two working brain cells and anyo e that works with their phone instead of wasting time with social media prefers a physical keyboard.

Something similar to a BlackBerry Priv but with a better camera, better internals plus a metal shell rather than plastic. A 4000mAh battery and a 5" or lower screen would be good too.
