..i decided im going to build my own UT phone
-
im just in the crazy idea phase but i think im gonna build my own phone ....my build script {not finished} ...is going to target x86_64 and arm64 builds ...however im considering add risc-v support? ...idk i dont have a risc-v board yet ...but im thinking amd with a m.2 5g cell modem ....im thinking a large phone but i still want it to fit in my pocket i was thinking maybe i could mod something like a mini gaming pc if i go amd route add a touch screen custom case ect ect ....however arm64 will be A TON EASIER but at the cost of x86ness ...i want linux in my pocket ...now i have a UT x86 build with a r/w file system ..well almost im working on it right now it almost boots on my laptop .....i wanna be able to whip out my phone connect to a tv and play helldivers 2 ....lots of options to choose from soon so i wanna get ahead of the game .....how would you all build a UT phone? hardware wise ...your dream phone so to speak that does not exist ..lets try to keep it under $500
-
if i go x86 phone route a n150 is not acceptable ....must play AAA games and have usb4 support if im going x86 in the pocket its gonna be insane for gaming ...its like a rule
-
im pretty broke rn so its good im in the planning feedback phase lol
-
arm64 makes more sense though all around ...but ...helldivers 2
-
@developerbayman Have you looked at power consumption on X86 versus arm chips ?
-
@oldbutndy yeah im aware its not near as mobile friendly but its all about the program execution but also if i get the opi5 version straightened out would open the door for alot more options once that is figured out ill add support for more sbc boards eventually ...honestly im thinking ill have to give concession on the specs either that or do some fine tuning ..but i want UT unlocked in my pocket with steam and cell access ...i dont ask for much! ...infinite battery too! ...all weighing in at 3 ounces im not greedy
...with a nvidia 5090 gpu 128 gb ram! -
@developerbayman Check DRAM $$ lately ? What percent of your $500 budget is reserved for DRAM. Look up how much you can afford. I imagine you want a better phone (LCD wise, etc) than pine phone pro. It was over $400 ...
-
@oldbutndy yeah im thinking ddr5
-
honestly coming to my senses im thinking arm64 with usb 4 possibly rasberry pi 5? ...few boards to choose from if i go that route even a raxda 2 w and a touch display would work ....then there is modded things like a hackberry pi but then we are in cyberdeck territory
-
which is what i want ....but as a phone in form factor
