Is a smartphone a machine ?
Yes , smartphones and tablets are indeed considered computers . A computer is really any device that accepts input from a user , performs calculations on that input , and provides an output to the user .

Is a smartphone a machine ?
Yes , smartphones and tablets are indeed considered computers . A computer is really any device that accepts input from a user , performs calculations on that input , and provides an output to the user .
The 15.6 inches Smartphone , that I envisioned , is a machine ( regardless of what Operating System ) which can have the physical appearance of a 15.6 inches Laptop , or it can have the physical appearance of a 15.6 inches Tablet , or it can have the physical appearance of a "Folding Smartphone which can unfold into a 15.6 inches Tablet" . Regardless whether the 15.6 inches Smartphone look like a 15.6 inches Laptop , or look like a 15.6 inches Tablet or it looks like a Folding Smartphone(a folding smartphone that can unfold into a 15.6 inches Tablet) , what they have in common is that , they behave like a Smartphone ( can make phone calls and reply phone calls , send emails , sms , WhatsApp , WeChat , Snapchat , Facebook, Instagram, TikTok , etc., etc. ) and they operate like a Smartphone and they have a 15.6 inches screen size , so much so that , a Laptop can be use as a Smartphone and a Tablet can be use as a Smartphone and a "Folding Smartphone which can unfold into a 15.6 inches Tablet" can also be a Smartphone .
Making a phone call and replying a phone call with a 15.6 inches Smartphone (regardless of Operating System) which has the physical appearance of a folding smartphone (the folding smartphone has been folded like a normal Android smartphone)

Below is a 15.6 inches Linux Smartphone which has the physical appearance of a Laptop ( a " 360 degrees foldable Laptop ) , with built-in DVD-RW Player , which can unfold into a 15.6 inches Tablet .
[ The 15.6 inches Smartphone , that I envisioned , regardless of Operating System , regardless whether it look like a Laptop or it look like a Tablet or it look like a Folding Smartphone , what they have in common is that , they behave like a Smartphone ( can make phone calls and reply phone calls , send emails , sms , WhatsApp , WeChat , Snapchat , Facebook, Instagram, TikTok , etc., etc. ) and they have a 15.6 inches screen size , so much so that , a Laptop can also be a Smartphone and a Tablet can also be a Smartphone ]
The above picture is for illustrative purposes only 15.6 inches Linux Smartphone that has the physical appearance of a Laptop which has been folded to become a 15.6 inches Tablet
Because of the 15.6 inches screen size (when unfolded) , because of the 15.6 inches form factor (when unfolded) , I prefer to use this 15.6 inches Linux Smartphone more like a 15.6 inches Linux Cellular Laptop 1 ( in LAPTOP MODE ) but when I commute , standing on a crowded train , on a crowded tram , on a crowded bus , I prefer to use it as a 15.6 inches Linux Cellular Tablet ( in TABLET MODE ) , because it is easier to pick up phone calls when using it as a 15.6 inches Tablet ( in TABLET MODE ) .
Since the 15.6 inches Linux Smartphone ( which have the physical appearance of a Laptop ) have a built-in DVD-RW Player , the 15.6 inches Linux Smartphone ( which have the physical appearance of a Laptop ) is going to be a little bit thicker than normal , but this is logical because of the thickness of the DVD-RW Player . Anyway , a 15.6 inches Linux Smartphone ( which have the physical appearance of a Laptop ) when in LAPTOP MODE and with a DVD-RW Player built-in , the machine is very useful and very handy especially when the machine is sitting on our lap when doing software installation , software archiving , burning DVD's , backing up videos and home movie collection , etc., etc.
Do we still need an Optical CD/DVD Drive ? In my opinion , we still do [ 1 2 3 ] ,
regardless whether it is sitting inside a 5G Cellular Laptop , or inside a 5G Cellular Tablet or attached to a 5G Folding Smartphone which can unfold into a 15.6 inches Tablet ( via a Docking Station ) . In my opinion , each and everyone of these machines are qualified to be a true or a real [ Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone (ALL-in-ONE) with built-in DVD-RW Player ] machine , which can serve as a Laptop , which can serve as a Tablet and which can serve as a Smartphone . I only carry 1 machine . I only carry 1 device . I only require 1 charger . I only require 1 Cellular Data Plan . Thats it !
There are so many ways ( whatever the design is ) to make a Folding Smartphone but I guess this is one way how to make a Linux Folding Smartphone that can unfold into a 15.6 inches Linux Cellular Tablet
In my opinion , for those who are involved in making this " DIY Smartphone Laptop " project , they :
1. should take great pleasure in making sure that the laptop has a screen size of 15.6 inches ,
2. should take great pleasure in making sure that the Laptop can be folded 360 degrees , so that it can be a 15.6 inches Laptop if we want to , and it can be converted into a 15.6 inches Tablet if we want to . In my opinion , in terms of user experience , a "360 degrees foldable" Laptop is much better than a "detachable" Laptop .
3. should take great pleasure in making sure that the Laptop is using INTEL processor/microprocessor, and running one of the most user friendly Operating System on the planet Earth , which is , the INTEL-based Windows Operating System(Windows 10 OS or Windows 11 OS) or the INTEL-based Linux Operating System(a good example is UBUNTU TOUCH 1 2 3) . In my opinion , Wintel is still the best hardware/software solution , regardless whether it is a PC/Desktop , or a Laptop or a Tablet or a Smartphone or a SmartTV or an Engineering Workstation .
5. should take great pleasure in making sure that the laptop has a DVD-RW Player [ 1 ] built-in ,
6. should take great pleasure in making sure that the laptop come with an embedded 5G modem [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ] and has a 5G SIM Card Slot , and that 5G Laptop must have a phone dialer and when we subscribe to a Cellular Data Plan [ 1 ] that come with a phone number or a personal phone number , we can dial a phone number on the 5G Laptop just like what we do on a 5G smartphone , so much so that we can use that 5G Laptop to make phone calls and answer phone calls directly on that 5G Laptop , just like a 5G smartphone . Sometimes we do not want to make a VoIP call using a Mobile App like WhatsApp on our 5G Laptop , we have a phone number from someone and we just want to dial that phone number on our 5G Laptop , just like a 5G smartphone .
Currently , as of today October 2023 , all 5G Laptops (eventhough they have a 5G modem card built-in) in the market cannot make/reply phone calls like a 5G smartphone , regardless of the Operating System being used , regardless whether it is INTEL-based or ARM-based .
In my opinion, the reason is because the network providers/carriers/telcos dictate which devices(5G Smartphones, 5G tablet, 5G laptops, 5G USB Dongle, etc., etc.) can make/reply phone calls(can utilise VoLTE or can utilise Vo5G/VoNR) and which devices(5G Smartphones, 5G tablet, 5G laptops, 5G USB Dongle, etc., etc.) cannot make/reply phone calls(cannot utilise VoLTE or cannot utilise Vo5G/VoNR) or perhaps , it may be that the network
providers/carriers/telcos do not want to support voice calling like a 5G smartphone , in a 5G Laptop and 5G USB Dongle and finally they said , " 5G Laptops and 5G USB Dongle was not originally intended for phone calls like a 5G smartphone " . By God's Grace , hopefully , in the not too distant future , this might change .
For me , it would be great if all 5G Laptops(regardless of the Operating System being used , regardless whether it is INTEL-based or ARM-based) and all 4G Laptops(regardless of the Operating System being used , regardless whether it is INTEL-based or ARM-based) and all 5G USB Dongle(when connected to any Laptops , when connected to any Tablets , regardless of the Operating System being used , regardless whether it is INTEL-based or ARM-based) can make phone calls and reply phone calls just like a 5G smartphone , just like a 4G smartphone .
In my opinion , the main criteria in doing this DIY 15.6 INCHES SMARTPHONE Project(or DIY SMARTPHONE LAPTOP Project) is TO BRING ALL THE IMPORTANT SMARTPHONE HARDWARE/SOFTWARE FEATURES TO THE LAPTOP AS MUCH AS WE CAN , especially a feature whereby we can make phone calls and answer phone calls directly on a Laptop , just like a 5G smartphone .
This " DIY 15.6 inches Smartphone " project , if prove successful , this machine has an excellent value for money, considering it can serve as a Laptop , it can serve as a Tablet and , above all it can serve as a Smartphone, and all are being done on a 15.6 inches screen size.
