All OS What would your ideal smartphone be?

I'm curious, if you could get a phone manufacturer to make you a custom smartphone how would you want it? What features would the phone have? How would it look? And how much would you pay for it (try to be realistic as much as possible, and not saying iPhone 12 Pro Max for 30k).

I'll go first.
1. OS: Stock Android.
2. Size: upto 5.5" slim bezel/no notch.
3. Resolution: 1080p Super AMOLED
4. SoC: SD700'ish something. Good middle tier SoC. Above SD720.
5. RAM: 6GB
6. Storage: 128GB (expandable)
7. Camera: Decent camera. Need wide and macro lens of 5MP or larger. Should have good video recording and option for recording 1080p videos in 30/60/slow-mo like in Poco F1. Not like those garbage made by Samsung with shitty stabilization issues (M series phones, even the M51 is affected with no fix til now). Punch-hole/motorized/pop-up whichever has the best durability. I don't care about 4k.
8. Dual-SIM (dedicated slot)
9. Battery: 5000mah
10. Charger: 30w
Misc: Built like the original Moto G or with metal sides. Aluminum frame is nice. Moto camera and torch activation patented features.
Price: 20-25k max. 20k for minimum and 25k for max features.

Viable option: Moto Fusion Plus.

Honestly, I like Android smartphones more than Apple and I would not even take an iPhone for free. In fact, if I have an option between iPhone 12 Pro Max and LG Wing, I would really go for LG Wing as my device. Coming on to the features, I really like the list you built, but my custom device would have some different features. I like Stock Android and think this is quite necessary in the devices these days. This is why brands like Micromax have an advantage over other brands. Up to 6-inch screen size is good enough for me and perhaps 1080p AMOLED display is also good enough. However, I want the smartphone to be fully covered with the latest version of Coning Gorilla glass for protection.
I am a gamer so more the RAM, better it is. Though, 256GB internal storage should be quite sufficient. Also, I want Mediatek Dimensity 2000 chipset in my smartphone (which is yet to be launched). Hardly care about camera but if I could get something without the pixel-binning feature, it would be so good. Though the front camera should be good enough for the video calls. And while an in-display optical fingerprint scanner is really desirable, I could go even up to 20,000mAH of battery, if possible in my device. Battery is one of my major concerns and I would love to have the best possible battery in my device.

A phone with 20,000 mAh battery would easily weigh more than half a kg. Gaming on such a phone would be so impractical that you would want to throw it away. Try gaming on a tablet and you'll know what I mean. In fact you will throw it away yourself even after a few days of non-gaming use.
Any reasons for going for Dimensity 2000 over whatever Snapdragon is going to offer in the same range? More RAM does not equate more performance. Mobile games need a certain amount of RAM after which any amount of RAM will not help your case.

You don't need a headphone jack?

I'd go for a bezeled screen (contrary to popular opinion, I actually like bezels, and I fail to understand the pursuit of bezel-less screens; might have something to do with my fat palms). 1080p AMOLED.
<145mm*75mm. Stock Android, single lens camera with adjustable focus.
Decent mid-tier SOC, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of UFS, 5000 mAh battery, BT with wide codec support, high quality DAC and amp.
Headphone jack, rear mounted fingerprint reader, full suite of sensors, notification LED.
Gorilla glass 5 with waterproof build.

You might think that a lot of this list is on the lower side, but I don't fancy paying more than 15k for a phone, and I'd much rather have the durability stuff like GG and high quality components, rather than some extra RAM/storage, or a bunch of cameras I'm never going to use.

Am currently using an iPad Mini 5 as my daily driver for office + Personal work and it comes close enough. Here's my wishlist.

iOS.
A13 Chip or whatever is the latest.
256 GB of internal storage with expandable storage.
6" AMOLED screen, no thin bezels
Type C connector
7-8hrs battery life
Normal Camera + wide-angle lens + OIS
Fingerprint scanner built into the power button.
Wireless charging.
3.5mm headphone jack + a good DAC.
 
Something like this, as per my preference
1. OS: Stock Android.
2. Size: 6" no notch.
3. Resolution: 1080p Super AMOLED
4. SoC: Flagship Snapdragon 865 or 888
5. RAM: 6/8 GB
6. Storage: inbuilt 512 GB UFS 3.1 (no slot required)
7. Camera: only one 64MP decent quality cam with OIS/ sensor from sony. No fancy camera setup or front camera is required.
8. Single sim is ok for me, I prefer carrying 2 phones.
9. Battery: 5000/6000mah
10. Charger: 30/40w
11. Dedicated DAC chip from ESS and dedicated amp with balanced out port like 2.5mm or 4.4mm along with standard 3.5mm jack.
& if possible a dedicated volume knob which can be custom set for some other purpose also.
12. rear mounted fingerprint reader, full suite of sensors, notification LED.
13. latest bluetooth 5.1 and Wifi supporting almost all bluetooth codecs.
14. Aluminum unibody with gorilla glass and some sweat protection rating.
Price: 38-48k max.
 
The way Android manufacturers are going, I'd be happy if they stopped copying iPhone 'features' like removing headphones jack and memory card slot and used their own brains to design their own phones.

If I wanted to buy iPhone, I'd buy iPhone. Not Samsung's version of iPhone.
 
#1 OS: near to stock with added features that are actually useful like OxygenOS
#2 Size: 5.5-6.1" max no notch or punch hole
#3 Resolution: 1080 or 1440 Super Amoled
#4 SoC: 845-855 is fine enough
#5 Memory: 8 is fine enough
#6 Storage: 256 is fine enough with no mSD card slot
#7 Camera: a decent main with optional accompanying depth and wide/telephoto from sony with OIS if possible
#8 SIM: dual as I'll opt-out for expandable storage
#9 Battery: 3800-4600mAh
#10 Charging: I honestly don't care about fast/super/ultra/etc, In regular day to day usage I prefer a 1-2amp charger for even my notre9, more than that only when in hurry for outside and need to top up quickly
#11 Audio: nothing fancy, I'm not an on the go audiophile
#12 Security: would love to have a front-mounted fingerprint sensor but would pass for a rear one, a big no to in-display garbage and I would have an iris scanner as it is much more efficient than facial recognition
#13 Connectivity: Wi-Fi 6 preferred with any standard BT version as having no much usage for it main reason in next point
#14 Give me the damn 3.5mm headphone jack and take my money
#15 Construction: metal unibody cnc'ed out of a single slab that's how it generally works with rounded corners and a decent enough rating for sweat
#16 Price: 50k'ish full-fledged

That's an interesting question. I'd definitely go for an Android phone since iPhones aren't really something that I like. And yeah, I would also like to go for Stock Android. The OS of Android phones is often so bloated that I think all phone manufacturers must have some variants that offer Stock Android. Battery should be at least 4,000 mAh and it should be equipped with fast-charging technology. I'd like the smartphone to have solid build so that I don't have to put a cover on.
