North American sales are bad for everyone, except, miraculously, Google.

Every major company releases the same phone year after year and the only significant change is the price. I don't mind using the same phone for few years.

Honestly... most people probably would benefit from a phone as powerful as a laptop. Imagine I could carry my laptop in my pocket and all I need to turn it into an ergonomical computer would be to pop it into a docking station. I would love that. I barely use a computer outside of my work computer, to the point where it's barely worth owning one. I do, for some random fringe cases, but it gets used once a week...
I would love a laptop powerful phone with docking capabilities. Just have it down regulate to normal phone needs, until it's docked.
You can even make the phone thicker if you want, if it's going to be that useful, I don't care about a little extra weight in my pocket.
Most Android phones can already do this with a cheap USB-C hub as long as they support video out. Samsung phones have DEX, which even gives you a desktop interface, but it can be disabled if your apps have issues with it.
Wow thanks! I just saw DEX in the hidden option menus and wondered what it even did. That's really cool.
Does it just launch a bigger version of your phone, or is it like a separate OS where you can have multiple windows doing different things simultaneously? The Samsung marketing materials mostly seem to talk about being able to use your phone and the other screen separately. But it doesn't really go into detail what you can do on the other screen.
