Linux x86 smartphone _ IT IS JUST AN IDEA

 

My vision of a   Linux Smartphone [ an  x86 phone that runs full Linux Operating System , example Ubuntu Touch and any Linux Distribution if so desired , and which has the physical appearance of a HP Elite x3 Smartphone . Sounds too good to be true ! An x86 phone that we can carry in our pocket and could be converted into a full-blown desktop Linux PC as soon as it was connected to a larger display with the help of a Docking Station ] .


   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 .

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
