We already do, and it can also make calls, play games, give us driving directions, even pay for stuff!
Seriously, what are you asking for exactly? I assume you're not happy with your phone camera because of the size of the sensor? Guess what, large sensors (at least m4/3 I assume) take up space, require appropriate lens flange distance and consume way more power.
People seem to have this weird selective memory about the original Blackmagic Pocket, well I worked with it pretty extensively and here's what I remember: Battery lasted maybe 20 minutes on a good day, ISO range was pretty limited, connectors were flimsy and the micro HDMI output would break just by looking at it, mics were crap, you really had to rig it or put it on a tripod if you wanted to shoot anything since there was no way to hold it steadily. I also was never crazy about the color science and image quality, I know there are people who seem to think it was amazing but I don't get it. By comparison the original Blackmagic 2.5K Cinema Camera's color science was much better IMHO (still not as good as what we have today).
As people have pointed out already, buy a Sigma fp if you want a smaller form factor. You can find one on eBay slightly used for around $1200 nowadays. However be warned -- it still won't fit in your pocket!
