I'm not sure why you got downvoted for this. I had a similar idea - what if the phone could run a faster, leaner version of Android by ditching backward compatibility? Or perhaps they have really focused their team on performance, or lowering power consumption, through software improvements.

Granted, the article seems to focus on AI mixins, but "it runs 90% of the top 1000 apps, and all of the most popular ones, with 30% better battery life" could be compelling too.

I know very little about Android, but I thought your comment has some merit.
