Even within the Android ecosystem, it's very sad that innovation is stymied. The only ones that even try are LG and they always fall flat.
There's a long list of different Android phones I'd like to see:
- Keyboard / Accessible phones. My mother in law has some disabilities that prevent her from using a touch-phone and she's using an Android phone with keyboard for messaging. Once it breaks, I'll be hard pressed to find a replacement
- Small size phones with decent specs. Lots of people are very vocal about that, a current coworker spent a lot of time searching and got frustrated, the only small phones available were basically dumbphones
- Specialist phones, I can't believe we still don't have phones with physical camera button and better swappable lenses (I think Sony tried that one, and there are some add-ons).
Sure there are a lot more undeserved niches.
