Cute, but what problem does this solve? Regardless of what you feel about any particular platform, consolidating multiple pieces of functionality into the highly integrated smartphone platform was a major step forward in mobility. This just feels like a regression.
I think it can at least carry 2TB of offline music for you if you still like owning your own music if that's your thing. It's an option, nothing wrong with that
Not all smartphones have the storage to store 2TB of songs. Phones with micro SD cards are rare as platinum these days.
Lots of chinese phones still have an SD card slot, although its usually in the same location as the second SIM card, so you have to choose.
My phone is like this and I use the dual SIM feature, as the internal memory is 256gb anyway.
Maybe for people who are not interested in smartphones? Could also be an educational project if you want to dive into embedded systems. You'll also save battery on your phone.
