Older? how dare you. its my current phone
Not surprised you could make it into a mini pc, pretty powerful device.

Do you mean Dex? Like a Dex docking station?

itll run dex as OS but itll be in a mini PC Case with proper cooling a hub that will break out into hdmi/ethernet usb. itll replace the nvidia shield in the bed room if i can get ETA Prime to release the video on how it was converted into this if it works ill convert my S20 Ultra which has 16gb of ram 1tb of storage and a SD card slot.

from looks of it might jsut be a Rasperry pie case that was adapted somehow.

Interesting. Maybe crack the phone open, make it run without a battery entirely, and use thermal glue to permanently affix some active cooling to keep the phone cpu from ever throttling? Sounds like a fun project!

if i can get the things needed i could solder a usb c power delivery circuit if its possibly but it would outperform the shield 100x and itd fix the issue of trying to get android tv running on x86 hardware like my 8700g
