> Fast, performant and cheap.

What's the difference between fast and performant?

Who will be buying these? Developers?

Something can be fast, but lack efficiency or the ability to utilize the speed.

For example, a car can have 1,000hp, but utilizes a large turbo which takes a long time to spool up, leading to poor performance. It may also have poor handling characteristics.

On the other hand, let's use a car like a Mazda Miata, which only has 181hp. It is not fast, but it is an incredibly performant car, with exceptional handling and driving dynamics.

Speed and performance are not directly correlated, and are independent metrics. Performance is more of an indication of the overall dynamics of action, intention and results.

> Phone: 171mm x 82mm x 12mm : 280g

280 grams is a lot even for today's phones. 12 mm is half a inch. Very thick.

The other dimensions are 6.7 x 3.2 inches.

Ok, this might be a phone for people that want to prove a point but it's too cumbersome. How about starting with something reasonable and fit it with only what fits within those bounds? An example: 160 x 80 x 9 and 200 g. That would be a big phone but not bigger than many phones on sale.

I'm so desperately looking for a DIY portable device that does not suck to build my portable audio player, best case supporting android with any of the following custom roms:

  LineageOS
  CalyxOS
  GrapheneOS
  /e/OS

I even considered making a player myself using the T113-S3 SoC, unfortunately not having the required skills. There are so many people trying to build prototypes, but this seems to be a space that is not easy to manage.

Here is my personal favorite Audio Player base device, best I found so far:
