why such crazy specs? nobody really uses the processing power normal phones have already, and being on Linux should reduce the requirements.
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.
