Just for fun and open some discussion/interest. Processor: Must support video output, linux is for who want a PC, not just a phone in their pocket (Is Risc-v an alternative here? open from ground?) Ram: 8GB min Storage: 64GB (external micro SD should be the real storage) Camera: 1 front and 1 back from a midrange of 5 yr ago is enough, if you want go pro buy a camera, otherwise AI is and will better than you) Battery:biggest as possible WiFi/Bluetooth/NFC as default for 2023 is nuff Monitor: 4k on a device big as hands is nonsense, better have anti reflection and low consumption, color e-ink is at early stage so an average one of '25 is enough Most important of all, price: must be under 300$!!!! otherwise Linux will never spread. Opinion on this? Have a nice we!!

yes, for sure you are right...my was a long shot...😁...but duopoly is a shit and I just have the sensation that there are a lot of different projects (from sw and hw to rebranding o creating new things) that maybe is better to merge and do something more significant.. don't know maybe still dreams

Dreams are fine, it's cool to imagine what a device that hits the perfect balance for yourself would be. But I've been following this topic for a long time and I'm more of a realist about it at this point. New devices are fun, but they rarely push the mobile Linux ecosystem anywhere. I think things like PostmarketOS having extra funding to get audio improvements in a great sign, I think a lot of projects are really close to being ready for more than just devs and tinkering. I'm sure these projects need help with translation or documentation if anybody can find the time.
