Re: a desired feature for flips

I want my flip to replace the bedside alarm clock when I'm resting. Open to about 75 degrees and turned away like some book-end so as to to show the cover screen inverted and toward the bed, with a low-power display showing time, weather, alarm and a time remaining slider. Don't want YAFA (yet another fucking app), just a feature.

You do realise that "features" of a phone are "just apps", eating up some of the same flash, likely being impossible to remove and unlikely to ever get updates ... right?
Google makes a nightstand for Pixel phones, and an app that turns it into a sort-of alarm clock while charging.  I have a Gen1 Nest Hub as my "alarm clock replacement" it has various clock faces, the largest using digits ~35mm, I suspect it could have used 45mm if it tried, but good enough for me to read without reaching for glasses.
