The main point of increased performance is not to do things faster so the user waits less or can get more done, it is to get the task done faster in order to turn the radios off and power down cores as soon as possible to save power. And they already had phones that turned into PCs. They failed because they are a stupid idea. You either need a mobile computing platform with a large screen and keyboard, or a pocketable mobile good-enough-computing/communications/payment platform. What you don't need is a stillborn defective fetus of a disaster where you plug into someone else's greasy keyboard and smeared monitor instead of pulling out a laptop. Unless you're one of those weirdos who spends thousands of dollars to build a netbook-sized cyberdeck only to never use it except as a status symbol at hacker conferences. The only thing dumber than carrying around a phone to use it as a PC is trying to use and change settings in a phone OS via a Linux terminal emulator. Also, everyone in here saying the cameras are "good enough" is wrong. Until a camera can take a photograph of an individual atom from across a pitch-black room while being shaken IT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. People who want phones to be PCs remind me of the folks who went all-in on VR back in 2016 who now pretend to ignore the thousands of dollars of trash they have collecting dust in the corner. They are solution-in-search-of-a-problemizing.
