Ideas are awesome but has kickstarter ever produced hardware that wasn’t years late and less than advertised?

A lot of people say that 5.3" is more than enough, maybe even too much.

QO :
Can’t you like get a Samsung A17 for like 260? I’m sorry but if I don’t have the funds to go high end, and just need the bare essentials why would I get this? Why wouldn’t I save like 300 dollars

What you described at the beginning as a phone in the middle ground is an iphone 17e or something like a Samsung A-series. We don’t need more mid range phones.

High-end phones in form factors that don't require catcher's mitts for single-handed use shouldn't be a crazy concept

That's why Nothing canceled the CMF phone 3. The CMF phones were made to be as cheap as you can get and still be usable.
