I feel like there's an untapped space for a small phone with a good 9-key keyboard (or something). There are a couple niche small phones out there but they all insist on using a software keyboard that is _amazingly slow_. Typing is basically the thing that needs to work as fast as possible, otherwise it ruins the experience. Almost no design is trying to acknowledge that the idea of a high-end small phone might be appealing to people (despite Apple having evidence with iPhone SE sales being decent enough). In a world without all the apps, designing something almost ground up would make a lot of sense, since Android isn't meant to fit on such a small screen anymore.
