I was hoping this would allow me to ssh into my phone to make/take calls and send/receive texts. Does anyone knows if that's possible?
Termux:API[1] is close, but doesn't appear to support phone calls. You can record from the mic and send SMS though. [1] - https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Termux:API
If Samsung could adopt native android installation, like some LG devices are, this is an exciting possibility.
This is really cool. I've been looking for such thing for a long time now. If you have a corporate Job like consulting or something equivalent it's very likely you are packing an awful laptop with you everywhere you go, a DELL or a Lenovo or something like that. DEX opens a door for next generation Mobile Desktop , where you SmartPhone is also your Desktop Computer. I really hope Apple does something similar in this…
> DEX opens a door for next generation Mobile Desktop , where you SmartPhone is also your Desktop Computer. Remember, Microsoft tried this with Continuum for Windows 8/10 and Windows Mobile, it failed. No-one actually wanted the core of their desktop inside their phones. People have partitioned off different use-cases for their PC and smartphones, and the overlap is smaller than designers think.
Snapdragon's 835 changed that. So will the A12X from Apple.

Something like Project Linda then? https://www.razer.com/projectlinda It is still a concept, but Razer's two phones have been the same size, so it remains a possibility.
That's very cool as a concept. I'd like to see Apple get all over something like this as well. Is it just me or would something like that sell like wild?
Questions: Will Samsung have access to my data? Does this have a SaaS cost model? Will I have root access? Can I apt-get install any package, or only selected packages?
Depending on how well this works it could single handedly convince me to buy a Note 9. I've been wanting something like this for years.

> oh yeah, I'd hate to be stuck on a Thinkpad or and XPS machine, the 2 best laptops on the market. Even when Excel , Chrome , Gmail take 30-50 seconds to open up ? And your laptop freezes when you are dealing with more than 10000 rows ? That's your opinion i guess.
I won't hope that a phone would handle 10000 rows much better. But that "Excel" thing might be an answer: the laptop must be running Windows, and Windows users often run an antivirus, and some Windows antivirus software is known to be terrible. (The MS-provided basic antivirus was always fine in this regard, though.)

>I won't hope that a phone would handle 10000 rows much better. Galaxy S9 has 2 X 4 Core @ 2GHZ , my corporate laptop has an i5 from 2015 with 2 @ 2GHZ. I'll go with the Galaxy.
Depends on what you're doing with these 10k rows, though.
