The first company that produces a phone with
will break the market
People want big phones for some reason, so it's unlikely it would break the market. Those who want what you described are (unfortunately) very few.
Bigger battery, better for content consumption and overall usage if you use it frequently. It's not that weird, yet you treat it as if we were talking about aliens.
Not sure where you got the aliens conclusion.
I mean, almost complete disappearance of smaller phones is kinda puzzling? The difference in screen/battery size between a 6" and a 6.8" phone isn't that big, yet one will fit pretty much any pocket, while the other one won't. I still find it counterintuitive that most people would put that much priority on gaining screen real estate over mobility. Another interesting thing is that these smaller sized phones are still present in flagship releases, so they're kind of a premium feature now.
I don't think that we are very few, I mean look at the upvotes...
It's just the market that is going the other direction and we just take it instead of spending a little bit of time looking for other solutions.
The Fairphone 3 has that. It also supports Android 13.
Yeah that would be nice, unluckily it's been discontinued and whenever I find one on the secondary market the price is prohibitive...
And a transparent back cover
Fairphone 3.
I do not see any suitable replacement anywhere on the market 😭
