EDIT - I don’t mean this flippantly. I really think a gaming phone made by Epic would be fantastic. They have some great games that I enjoy, including Rocket League and Fortnite. Would love to see what they could do with a phone, especially how well they did on GM’s Hummer ( https://www.theverge.com/2020/10/7/21506572/epic-games-unrea... )
I have to think that somewhere in a lab they have an android device with all the Google bits removed. I truly believe that Edge is a test run for this, and given how successful it has become, they will press further.
Embrace & extend never dies.
EDITED to add for context:
Here's my deal - we're locked into 2 basic choices. The choices are fine, but it's like a Ford vs Chevy thing - boring.
I really want someone else to com into the market and make a phone feel special. Like when Air Jordan's first came out. Nobody thought about a shoe as being special before that.
Red had a phone, but didn't execute as well as I would have expected. Image what a phone would be like from Epic - fantastic UI, great feel in your hand. Like Fortnite? cool, they have one that looks like it came right out of the game. Like Rocket League? Cool - they have one for that too.
