what is hard is to build a usable "smartphone".
That really is the krux of the discussion. You might be able to build a "play-box" with the standard 7" screen, which does in fact have 'phone' parts inside... but I'm not sure you'd really want to carry it around. I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 ( which is slim, lite, and looks great ) but I don't really 'like' to carry it around either ! If it were any larger I wouldn't carry it around.
With all of the relatively inexpensive smart-phones available on the market world-wide, it just doesn't make sense to build one of your own except just for the academic purpose of the exercise.
