    Bring back Windows Phone in the form of an Xbox Phone. Would love a third option to Android/iOS.

      Fucking please. And I know MS quality isn’t great, but I absolutely hate everything Google and Apple have been doing lately

      If it had a slide out controller on it like the old slide out keyboard phones I would buy this instantly.

      I have an LG Wing right now and I love it, but I keep wishing that I could use the bottom screen as a touch controller for games on the top screen. SoftWing exists and kinda does that, but not elegantly. If I could swap it for a low profile slide out controller for landscape mode instead, that phone would be a gamers paradise. Probably sell like hotcakes especially in places like Asia where phone gaming is way bigger than here in the US.

        I think the problem with slide out controllers is the analog sticks, since they’re so tall. PSP and the PSP phone had fairly terrible analog sticks that were flat and low profile, and they SUCKED. They could be recessed in a little well but then they can’t move as far, or have tiny uncomfortable thumb pads. You could make do with only d-pad and a couple face buttons, but at that point you might as well get an 8bitdo keychain controller.
