    Even "Dropout-free, hi-fi enthusiast-pleasing 16-bit, 44.1/48 KHz CD quality audio" is already impossible if you are using something like Bluetooth.
  • Plenty of buzzwords that simply make no sense: "The Smile runs an algorithm-based, custom Linux AI operating system" ✔

Why would you actually want to use such a "display for your phone" considering it would actually have better hardware than your phone?

AVOID.

Should. be fine with a 6 foot x 4 foot solar panel strapped to my back.
