This boox palma is a thing... https://shop.boox.com/products/palma not sure how good of a phone it is though

Iirc the Palma doesn’t have a sim slot thus can’t be used as a full fledged phone. The Hisense line of phones (such as the A9 Pro) do have sim slots and run android but I don’t think even they last weeks.
