I bet we're 1 generation away from cheap "clones" with (pure) Linux on them.
What do people need? A A57 octo core, 8GB RAM, 256/512GB storage, and a 100€ screen...
Throw in the usual stuff (sim, gps/galileo, wifi, bt) plus maybe a card reader, swappable batteries, audio jack for us nerds out there and the craze can be done with.
300€ from china (made in eu/us for 1100€ coming next decade)...
Good or bad, I see it coming! (Just after the linux desktop 😁?)
Jolla and SailfishOS inbound
No better then android. Actually worse it isn't open source.
