I wish someone would make a simple smart phone for once

I wish that Samsung, or someone else, would make a phone using current parts, but with the features of an older device. I've been looking into ditching my old Laptop I use for personal items (basic document creation, some web browsing, a couple simple games, etc.) but every phone I've tried tends to come up short in performance and battery life.

The problem seems to be a combination of always-on and always-useless pre-loaded apps as well as the thousand and one sensors crammed into the device wasting RAM and CPU, as well as the limited amount of built-in storage (Seriously, why does the Google Search app take up 250+ MB of storage?). I would kill for a basic device that has a moderate display (1920x1080 is enough for me) but with a modern CPU and a couple GB of RAM powered by a battery using modern processes, but the size of an older battery, and a decent amount of storage or multiple MicroSD card slots.
