The Waveshare SIM7600G-H 4G HAT is bigger than the raspberry pi zero. It's not good to be used in a case that should look like a mobile phone. I'm starting with this case : https://www.melopero.com/shop/raspberry-pi/case-ufficiale-per-raspberry-pi-zero-w/ So I will look for a 4G HAT that has the size of that case. Or,I could ask a company to create a custom case,but the risk is to build a device that's not a phone...and that's not a tablet. In addition to that,I need to find one USB display of about 4 inches that fits inside that case and that does not require a driver,since FreeBSD doesn't have one.
