Note that the attributes of the phone hardware sensors are important, but not sufficient—generic "use any phone, no root required!" solutions like you mentioned will have to send the data through a full stack of software layers that are very unlikely to be optimized for high-rate / low-latency uses like this one. You might get lucky and have a phone so incredibly powerful that even non-optimal software stacks are fast/low-latency enough to work well, but I suspect it will be a long time before most people do...
