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
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.

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
