Such hardware exists, i remember i wanted to get something exactly like that for my Windows Mobile 6. 1 device back in 2009. It was like a laptop you could dock your HTC Tytn II into and it would switch to a larger 14 inch laptop display while recharging your phone. Basically just a laptop shell and battery. ๐ Manufacturers will probably start offering these again after Android 16 fully rolls out widely

"smartphone docking station with big screen and recharging
Docking stations that include a big screen for a smartphone are typically "lapdocks," which provide a screen, keyboard, and trackpad, using your phone as the processor. Alternatively, you can use a standard USB-C docking station with a portable monitor. Most of these setups also recharge the smartphone while it is connected.
Option 1: Lapdocks
This all-in-one approach transforms your phone into a laptop-like experience and is the closest modern equivalent to the original Motorola Lapdock.
NexDock: Offers a range of lapdocks that function as laptop shells, using your smartphone for processing power and including a built-in keyboard, battery, and screen.
UPERFECT UDock X: A 2-in-1 portable monitor lapdock that can connect to your phone wirelessly or via a cable. The built-in battery can also charge the connected device.
How it works: You connect a compatible phone via USB-C to the lapdock. The phone's desktop interface, like Samsung DeX or Motorola Smart Connect, is then displayed on the larger screen. "
