I know this isn't for "regular users", but I'd totally buy one of those.
If you make it with a slider for laptop-like buttons I'm definitely buying it!
I'd rather have a laptop-like smartphone with querty buttons than a foldable one..
Let's hope it will happen!

7nm, 5nm, 3nm...what ever they decide to call it...it means nothing anymore. Let's use 5nm as an example...they call it "5nm" commercially, but you won't find any distance in the semiconductor design that is 5nm in size. The gate- and metal pitch of the 5nm process is 44nm and 32nm is size. They should really change the commercial name to reflect the density rather than some thumb-sucked random number.

What happens after that? We all jump the boat of quantum processor smartphones?

Walter C. Dornez, 10 May 2019Samsung actually did the same thing a few weeks backWell according to someone on this comment section it already announced in 2018 and also Samsung latest and greatest Exynos still on 8nm while TSMC already on 7nm so the Chinese/Taiwanese companies is ahead of Samsung.

So basically
1- Sloppy die shrink
2- Proper die shrink afterwards.
Tech is awesome. You get half the product now and then you are urged to buy the other half next year
