> 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.

Do you seriously think weight and thickness are parameters that hardware designers just artificially inflate all the time just to be mean to users???

You want 1/3 of thickness and 53ml in volume and 80g in weight just removed because methinks that'd be much better??? A phone isn't a steak cut, you... can't do that. You can if you knew beforehand that there are suitable replacements for major components like displays and batteries, if you don't, you just take what hardware engineers give you. What are you even thinking.
