Width: 65mm
Thickness: 9-9.5mm
120g? The phone is all plastic to make it lighter and more durable. If realized it may need a metal frame to dissipate heat, but I still want it as light as possible.
4.6in LCD, 16:9, 1080x1920, 480 DPI, 102mm x 57mm, ~75% screen to body ratio. Although 720x1280 ~320DPI is completely fine too. (LCD instead of OLED for durability and longevity (able to be taken apart without wrecking screen and no inevitable lines or burn in)
All plastic phone including screen. Sides and back are flat, high quality matte plastic with the XZ1C plastic texture.
Front has the screen surrounded by big speakers on the top and bottom, similar to Axon 7.
Pre-applied glass screen protector with the option of either clear or privacy.
Sides are flat, but have a bit of rounding at the edges, as to not have sharp edges.
Back is removable, remember that?
Snapdragon 6 or 7 of current gen, perhaps even undervolted. Or salvaged 865 or 8G2 since apparently that's possible.
SIM and MicroSD go in slots under the back cover. Dual SIM if possible.
A wide(?) back camera, zoomable with OIS and an ultrawide back camera with OIS. Hopefully some sort of macro mode or enough zoom to make up for the lack of macro camera.
A wide front camera with OIS
Headphone Jack, remember that?
Good, high quality DAC for that headphone jack.
Ability to work like a DAC or Bluetooth audio transmitter when connected to PC.
IR blaster and receiver, remember that?
FM radio and transmitter, remember that?
USB 3 Type C (Or 4 if available)
Side fingerprint scanner
Rebindable action button
3000?mAh (or as big as it can be) removable battery. Able to be powered on without battery while plugged in. Software switch to limit battery charging to 80% on the kernel level.
Internal pins for various uses or attachments.
Wireless charging coil is connected to the back and attaches to a couple internal pins. Also has reverse charging too.
Illuminated Eclipse logo is also connected to the back and also attaches to a couple internal pins.

A few extra things to give context:

For the display, I do not like super thin bezels or notches or curved edges. I like an uninterrupted screen and enough margin as to not accidentally tap the screen.

I mention XZ1C when discussing the plastic build, this is the Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact. The plastic on the XZ1C is high quality, matte, feels flat or smooth while having a good amount of grip. I think this would be perfect here.

In the images, I've only mocked up black. It's the Eclipse site background tiled. This is meant to replicate a matte black plastic with a purple tinge. I might make mockups with other colors like purple, white, blue, green, red, or more in the future.

The screen comes with a glass screen protector to have the best of both worlds. It feels like glass and has the scratch protection of glass, but if it breaks, you can just take it off and keep using the phone. Screen would be inset enough to keep the glass protector slightly inset from the front plastic bezel for extra drop protection.

The speakers are so big because I can have trouble understanding people on the phone. Having a bigger speaker means it's louder and higher quality. The bottom speaker is equally big to make it more symmetrical and to have better and more equal stereo sound. Although I might be fine going tri bezelless and mono sound since it's mostly earpiece I want.

Optional features or changes:
Yes I put this much work into something that may never exist. A man can dream.

I don't like super thin bezels or notches or curved edges. I find myself accidentally touching the screen on my XZ2C when I use it because of the thin bezels and flush design while the XZ1C has thicker bezels and the screen is a bit inset.

What about the Infinity Display found in Samsung S8/S9 but with thicker bezels on the sides, and flat sides to avoid accidental taps?

That's basically a normal phone screen before things went to shit and what I did.

I decided to remove 120mm bit from ePhone as I don't feel like making it bigger, so it's 118mm again. I also moved the action button below the fingerprint sensor.

Also apparently they're able to make new devices with older chips, Ayn launched the Ayn Thor with a lite model with the 865, and higher end models with the 8G2. Those chips are still pretty baller and I think faster than low end chips, so I edited in the possibility of reusing an older flagship chip to the post.
