This.
That is legit the only recent phone I would have considered buying.
Now its dead, I'd seriously rather make a phone from a Raspberry Pi.

i wish my g5 had modules, such as a forward facing speaker one. why is this not a thing?

one, it's costly. Both in terms of how much R&D costs and in terms of how much the final product costs. Two, normies don't give a shit. They actively want to buy a no-user-serviceable-parts-inside product where they don't have to make any decisions at all about the components that go into it. Phones are such a low-margin business that you'll never make a profit on a phone unless it sells millions of units, and a modular device without normie-appeal wouldn't. This is why phones have converged into all being pretty much the same these days.

Because modularity comes at the cost of portability and price, which most people aren't willing to sacrifice.

Think about how modular laptops are compared to desktops.
