Aside from the battery, 99.99% of people don’t care about any of those features in the first place. Even among Android users, each of those are incredibly niche.
Yeah well the 0.01% seem to be the people who actually know how to use a computer, or at least a portion of them, so maybe design for them since the rest don’t seem to give a fuck.
Especially considering the people who actually work on hardware design are more likely than average to be a part of that 0.01%, if we really are that rare. Which I don’t believe.
Storing music and ROMs on your phone is a pretty common usecase I have to imagine. It sucks I can’t keep all my stuff on me like I used to.
While we’re at it I want my LG V20 style inbuilt DAC back. I shouldn’t have to choose between unlocking my phone every time USB disconnects, or in-line compression mixed with the vulnerabilities that come with Bluetooth. Onboard 3.5mm jacks let you reconnect headphones that disconnect in your pocket securely without an unlock.
Also ir blasters so I can make restaurants think their TV’s are broken again.
I used to shower with this phone regularly. I dropped it in a glass of water the day I bought it. If kyocera can do it for $80 10 years ago, modern manufacturers can do it now for $1000. Turns out coating your sockets, and putting gromets on your battery covers costs literal fucking pennies.
Stop simping for corporations who are looking for an excuse to squeeze out glued together shit.
Yeah, the chipsets used make a lot more difference in battery life than the actual physical capacity of the battery, itself. A well-optimized device can make excellent use out of a small battery. Not to mention any number of apps that could run amok in the background and have major impacts on your battery life.

I’d fucking murder for expandable storage back. Wtf am I supposed to do with a 300gb music folder and no SD card?
I have to set up a VPN w/ jellyfin just to listen to everything lmao.

I guess more people drop their phone in the toilet than want to expand their storage
The $80 off-contract phone I owned in highschool had:

Eh? There’s a huge number of Android phones with expandable storage, what are you on about?
Yeah but there’s none that do that and run graphene so I’m SOL :p
Turns out that’s worse than murder. That’s what I get fer being picky I spose.
And even with the battery; it’s not about the size, it’s how you use it.

In the Android space there are lots of options. If you want a niche device you can find it.
