You should go try playing with a galaxy note phone, they are equipped with wacom's digitizer that not only give u precision tapping, also pressure sensor.

EDIT: resisitive or not, it is just a way to enable precision tapping. While resisitive screen may be able to achieve this easily, however, for the general public, a capacity screen that allows multitouch easily, and HCI guidelines that are specially designed to tackle imprecise finger tapping is prolly much more appreciated (or expected by users of modern smartphones). Also I remembered reading the designer purposefully pick components that are common, in order to drive down the building cost, which lowers the sales price. F(x)tec Pro 1 is currently not really priced that low (it is priced similarly to my Pixel 3 that I bought during the promotional period, and Pro 1 is on 2 years old SoC), I can only imagine how much more it would cost in order to be built with all the niche components just to please a small crowd.
