The Pi zero phone is a cool hack but I doubt many would opt to use it as a 'daily driver'.
Broadcom, according to the wikipedia page for VideoCore, did however make a couple of Cortex-A9/A7 SoCs that made their way into low end 2012-3 era Android phones.
Perhaps a startup might recycle old Broadcom-based HTC and Samsung models in collaboration with the RPi team.
