Personally, I have a PinePhone and love it for what it is.
For my money, the answers are:
1) Only keep the back camera, and I'll be using it for utility so it doesn't need to be a high resolution. The 2mp should be fine for me.
2) I would keep only the compass and barometer. Accelerometers and gyro creep me out, and I never use ambient light.
3) I'd love to have dual-band wifi! That's my one minor hangup on the PinePhone. I'm mainly a wifi user.
4) No GPS, for me. If the compass and/or barometer rely on GPS, drop those, too.
5) I'd like to see some SPI flash, but it's low on my list.
A 4.5 to 5 inch screen would be good for me. I like to carry small, when I can. The PinePhone's 5.95 inch screen is a little bigger than I'm used to. It's usable, and I love it, but it's more than I need.
I'm extremely excited about the possibility of a pocket-portable communicator with LoRa and WiFi, especially if it uses the same batteries I already have for my PinePhone.
Thank you!
