Would be interesting to see a project like this done with a raspberry pi zero and a nice 3d printed case.
Sadly, Raspberry Pis are quite power-hungry. You'd need a really large battery to actually make a smartphone you could use for a full day. Notice that the guy in the video doesn't keep it powered up all the time.

There's a reason the GTA04, neo900 etc have not had great successes. Building a cell phone just isn't something a few friends can do in their spare time.
