My brother bought me a Pi3 for chistmas. I havent figure out what all i really want to do with it other than simply loading kodi on a flash drive and Retro Pi arcade on another.

Looks to me like a so-called feature phone, not sure where the smartphone aspect is coming from. There was a cool and humorous talk by a guy who also made his own phone from !!Con 2015:

Ahead of its time with no headphone jack  ;)
It's pretty interesting, I run a Pi3 as a mini homelab/personal cloud, they're great little PC's.

Lol, get yourself some Bluetooth headphones, curmudgeon!

I think the smartphone aspect comes from the little included screen that provides a visual interface for a Linux-based OS and many different Linux apps.
