It can be used as a desktop PC too apparently.

It sounds amazing tbh, but let's see if it ever leaves the concept phase...

Fingers crossed, I have been sticking with samsung for its Dex desktop interface, but this could be a serious game changer!

yeah but with the way phones are usually used 32 GB RAM is excessive and 2 TB storage is excessive. I'd assume if you are using your phone as a desktop it'll probably be for light stuff like google docs or youtube, so it's still overkill.

From what I read it has a 256GB eMMC storage and SD card reader that supports 2TB SD cards.

The RAM.. yeah probably excessive. I wouldn't mind it but for most people it's overkill.

didn't see that about the storage, but yeah the RAM is just extra cost for no extra utility.
