My journey with the Linux Operating System: May 2021

My vision of a Linux

Smartphone [ an INTEL-based Linux

Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone(ALL-in-ONE)

which has the physical appearance of a Smartphone ]

hardware specifications :

1. Linux Phone Screen size

when unfolded : 15.6 inches

Why 15.6 inches [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ]

Computer hardware with 15.6 inches screen

[ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ]

2. Physical Appearance : It must look like a

Smartphone ,

that is , it has to be thin and light and slim and sleek like a
Smartphone and at the same time it is foldable .
Imagine this , picture this , when a folding Smartphone

(dual-fold or tri-fold) is unfolded , it can turn into a

15.6 inches Tablet and it is like having a SAMSUNG

Galaxy TabPro S with 15.6 inches screen size .

When a folding Smartphone (regardless whether it is a dual-

fold design or a triple-fold design) can unfold into a

15.6 inches Tablet , it automatically transforms the folding

Smartphone into an Engineering Tablet and when

connected to a Docking Station (with IoT , the Docking

Station could be connected wirelessly to the foldable

Smartphone , no wires needed , no cables needed) , the

Engineering Tablet becomes an

Engineering Workstation which can be connected to a

number of computer peripherals utilising the Linux

Smartphone to it's fullest potential .

3. Processor/microprocessor : INTEL-based processor/microprocessor [ 1 2 3 4 ]

( i ) A strong INTEL-based processor/microprocessor inside a

Linux smartphone , will make the

display very responsive , browsing the web is fast and casual

games can be played [ 1 2 3 4 5 ] .

It does not have to be the latest or the greatest CPU or the

bleeding edge of CPU because a Linux

Smartphone [ an INTEL-based Linux

Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone(ALL-in-ONE) which has the physical

appearance of a Smartphone ] is not meant to do

overclocking or heavy gaming or video editing or

3D rendering , as long as the display is very

responsive , browsing the web is fast and casual games can be

played , make telephone calls and receive telephone calls , send

emails , send sms , WhatsApp , WeChat , Snapchat , Vidmate ,

Facebook , Instagram , etc., it should be fine .

(ii) A strong INTEL-based processor/microprocessor that is

x86-based inside a Linux smartphone will

run the full desktop version of Linux Operating System .

(iii) A strong INTEL-based processor/microprocessor that is

x86-based inside a Linux smartphone , will

give users a fully-functioning Linux desktop in their

Linux Smartphone [ an INTEL-based

Linux Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone(ALL-in-ONE) which has the

physical appearance of a Smartphone ] .

(iv) A strong INTEL-based processor/microprocessor that

is x86-based inside a Linux smartphone
can run Linux OS Applications ,

for example , Libre Office , Open Office , VLC Media Player ,
GIMP , etc., etc.

(v) A strong INTEL-based processor/microprocessor that

is x86-based inside a Linux smartphone can run Linux

System Utilities because most Linux System Utilities are

designed/developed/written/programmed to work very well

with machines running INTEL-based processor .

(vi) A strong INTEL-based processor/microprocessor that

is x86-based inside a Linux smartphone , can handle

multitasking task ( randomly select a few task

from the list below ) better than ARM-based processor .

Examples of computer task are shown below :

( a ) making a phone call

( b ) receiving a phone call

( c ) sending sms

( d ) uploading a 4 GB video file from the Internet

( e ) uploading a huge file or a collection of files above 10 GB from the

Internet . Engineering Diagrams files , AutoCAD files , etc., are

huge files .

( f ) watching YouTube/Videos/Movies/Netflix/iFlix

( g ) hard disk drive cloning with Clonezilla using USB port (work with

Windows OS and Linux OS only)

( h ) transferring files from one computer to another using USB port

[ 1 2 3 4 5 ] (work with Windows OS only)

( i ) transferring files from one computer to another using Ethernet cable

or Wireless with the help of Home Wireless Router .

( j ) using USB port to connect to a External USB DVD-RW drive to

watch DVD movies (work with Windows OS and Linux OS only)

( k ) using USB port to connect to a External USB Blu-ray drive to watch

Blu-ray movies (work with Windows OS and Linux OS only)

( l ) using USB port to connect to Printers [ Home Printers and

Departmental Printers (work with Windows OS and Linux OS

only) ]

( m ) using USB port to connect to Scanners/Flatbed Scanners (work with

Windows OS and Linux OS only)

( n ) using USB port to connect to Digital Camera (work with Windows

OS and Linux OS only)

( o ) using USB port to connect to USB TV Tuner (work with Windows

OS and Linux OS only)

( p ) installation of CAD programs (work with Windows OS and Linux OS

only) [ 1 ]

( q ) installation of application software for example , Adobe

Photoshop , Microsoft Visual Studio , Microsoft Visual Basic ,

Microsoft Office , etc. (work with Windows OS only) [ 1 ]

( vii ) Last but not least , with an INTEL-based processor/microprocessor in a

Linux Smartphone [ an INTEL-based Linux

Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone(ALL-in-ONE) which has the physical

appearance of a Smartphone ] , I believe , Linux OS runs

great/better , as compared to ARM-based

processor/microprocessor . Also , I believe , the

Linux Phone is

not dead yet , the Linux Phone is
coming back , but , with a different layout and with a
different design and at the same time the Linux Operating
System keeps getting better and better everyday .

4. Linux Operating System : Ubuntu Touch

5. GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) :

A strong GPU so that the display is very responsive , browsing

the web is fast and casual games can be played [ 1 2 3 4 5 ]

It does not have to be the latest or the greatest GPU or the

bleeding edge of GPU , as long as the display is very

responsive , browsing the web is fast and casual games can be

played , it should be fine .

6. Display Resolution : minimum 1920X1080 pixels

Full HD . Touchscreen Technology .

7. Display Technology : TFT or LED or whatever .

Most important , the Linux Smartphone

[ INTEL-based Linux

Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone(ALL-in-ONE) which has the

physical appearance of a Smartphone ]

screen/display should be able to see in bright sunlight ,

for outdoor use .

8. Camera : Front Facing Camera 5 megapixels minimum

Rear Facing Camera 8 megapixels

minimum with

autofocus (SONY-made)

I STILL THINK A GOOD QUALITY FRONT FACING CAMERA AND A GOOD QUALITY REAR FACING CAMERA IS A NECESSITY FOR TAKING DECENT QUALITY PHOTOS AND DECENT QUALITY VIDEOS IN A LINUX SMARTPHONE

[ an INTEL-based Linux

Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone(ALL-in-ONE) which has the physical

appearance of a Smartphone ]

9. UEFI/BIOS(software/firmware) must

be present on the System Board of the Linux Smartphone [ an INTEL-based Linux

Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone(ALL-in-ONE) which has the physical

appearance of a Smartphone ] , so that when there is a requirement to do hard disk drive cloning ( for example to clone a Windows 10 OS Hard Disk Drive or a Linux OS Hard Disk Drive ) and also when there is a requirement to install Windows 10 Operating System on the Linux Smartphone [ an INTEL-based Linux

Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone(ALL-in-ONE) which has the physical

appearance of a Smartphone ] , we should be able to do it , just like a traditional INTEL-based PC/Laptop . Most System Utilities are designed/developed/written/programmed to work very well with machines running INTEL-based processor and running Windows Operating System or a Linux Operating System .

10. Ultra Slim internal DVD-RW player :

Ultra Slim internal DVD-RW player must be present

inside the Linux Smartphone [ an INTEL-based Linux

Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone(ALL-in-ONE) which has the physical

appearance of a Smartphone ] .

Linux folding Smartphone with " two-screen " design like AXION ZTE , I believe , the hardware/software manufacturer can squeeze a Ultra Slim internal DVD-RW player inside the Linux folding Smartphone . I say this because when the Linux folding Smartphone is unfolded into a 15.6 inches Tablet , there is ample space to combine the electronics of the Smartphone together with a DVD-RW Player , even if it makes the 15.6 inches Tablet slightly thicker .

Anyway , the presence of a Ultra Slim internal DVD-RW player can still exist inside a Linux Smartphone by connecting a Docking Station [ 1 ] to the Linux folding Smartphone [ an INTEL-based Linux

Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone(ALL-in-ONE) which has the physical

appearance of a Smartphone ] if the hardware/software manufacturer refuse to have a DVD-RW Player embedded inside the Linux folding Smartphone with " two-screen " design .

11. Connectivity and ports for
Linux Smartphone [ an INTEL-based Linux

Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone(ALL-in-ONE) which has the physical

appearance of a Smartphone ] .

(a) Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac MIMO

(inside Linux Smartphone)

(b) Bluetooth 4.2

(inside Linux Smartphone)

(c) 4G SIM Card slot (inside Linux Smartphone)

( 3G/4G/4G LTE/5G with support for

voice calling , sending sms , emails ,

WhatsApp , WeChat , Snapchat ,

Facebook , Instagram , etc., etc. and

high-speed Internet access and

broadband using

4G LTE/5G network )

(d) USB Type-C

(inside Linux Smartphone)

When connected to a USB Type-C

Docking Station :

1. it can be use for multiple monitor setup .

2. can be use for

hard disk drive cloning using

Clonezilla with the help of 2 units

of USB 3.0 Full Size

3. useful for connecting to

USB Printers/Scanners/Flatbed

Scanners

4. useful for connecting to Digital

Cameras

5. useful for connecting to

USB TV Tuners

(e) 3.5mm headphone jack port

(inside Linux Smartphone)

(f) HDMI Port

(inside Docking Station)

(g) VGA(D-Sub) Port

(inside Docking Station) (to connect to VGA Monitor

HDTV , etc.)

(h) RJ45 port

(inside Docking Station)

(with integrated Gigabit

Ethernet ,

useful for uploading huge files or a

collection of files above 10GB

from the Internet , uploading huge

files above 10GB from the Internet

is much faster with LAN cable

than with 4G Mobile Broadband)

12. Input device :

(inside Linux Smartphone)

Stylus/C-Pen (for

Graphics

Artist/Designer ,

Animations , etc.)

13. Battery life : 6 hours or more

P.S. THESE HARDWARE SPECIFICATIONS MENTIONED

ABOVE LOOKS INSANE FOR A SMARTPHONE

COMPUTER HARDWARE BUT THIS IS THE KIND OF

MACHINE THAT SOME CUSTOMERS AND
MYSELF HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR . WITH THE ABOVE MENTIONED HARDWARE SPECIFICATIONS ,

THE LINUX SMARTPHONE [ an INTEL-based Linux

Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone(ALL-in-ONE) which has the physical

appearance of a Smartphone ] IS

THIN AND LIGHT AND SLIM AND

SLEEK JUST LIKE AN ANDROID

SMARTPHONE .
WITH THE PRESENCE OF A EXTERNAL ULTRA

SLIM INTERNAL DVD-RW PLAYER CONNECTED TO

THE LINUX SMARTPHONE [ an INTEL-based Linux

Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone(ALL-in-ONE) which has the

physical appearance of a Smartphone ] VIA A

DOCKING STATION , THE MANUFACTURER

WOULD HAVE A

REAL WINNER

HERE BECAUSE IT IS A WELL ROUNDED

MACHINE FOR STUDY , WORK AND PLAY AND THIS

IS THE DEVICE FOR EVERYTHING .

THE LINUX SMARTPHONE IS A VERY GOOD

SOLUTION , I ONLY CARRY ONE DEVICE AND I DO

NOT HAVE TO CARRY SO MANY DEVICES FOR MY

LAPTOP/TABLET/SMARTPHONE NEEDS . I DO NOT

HAVE TO CARRY 3 ITEMS . I ONLY CARRY 1 ITEM .

I ONLY CARRY ONE UNIT OF
LINUX SMARTPHONE [ an INTEL-based

Linux Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone(ALL-in-ONE) which

has the physical appearance of a Smartphone ]

ANYWAY , IT IS MANY TIMES

BETTER TO CARRY THIS THAN TO CARRY THIS

IF THERE IS A HARDWARE/SOFTWARE

MANUFACTURER THAT IS WILLING TO MAKE

THIS KIND OF DEVICE , IT IS WORTH WAITING

FOR . I THINK THIS IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT

DIRECTION .

I THINK THIS IS THE FUTURE .

IF THERE IS NO HARDWARE/SOFTWARE

MANUFACTURER WILLING TO MAKE THIS

LINUX SMARTPHONE FOR

SOME REASON , I AM UNAWARE OF , I

HOPE TONY STARK OR SOMEBODY IN THE

NERD LAB [ 1 ] WILL MAKE ONE .

RADIATION FROM CELLPHONES . KEEP

CELLPHONES OR SMARTPHONES OR

CELLULAR LAPTOP A SHORT DISTANCE AWAY

WHEN USING IT . AVOID PROLONG USE OF THE

DEVICE . [ 1 2 3 ]
