I’m probly stating the obvious. I’m usually a little behind the curve
… But this steamframe thing … It’s already a phone, pretty much.
It just needs different apps now.
get rid of the vr stuff and add a normal touchscreen instead, make the UI a bit more phone-like, add a cellular connection, get rid of monochrome and add color cameras, make it a little thinner, integrate the battery, add a bunch of phone apps (calculator, texts, calls, browser, notes, email, camera, etc)
computing-wise, it is very similar tho, it has the exact same processor that’s in my phone, just a bit more ram, can be configured to have the same amount of storage
I just looked through the PC Gamer article from 3 days ago. They tore it down a bit. Ya, its pretty VR specific hardware. Looks pretty cool, actually. But it’s two screens built in a curved visor-shaped case. That aint no phone.
I was being silly to point out that it would be very easy for them to jump to just making phones. They are mostly there.

So … Steam just DID make a phone.
