Interest in Linux-based smartphones has increased recently, but such devices are still targeting early testers and developers. For those who only want an available Linux device, the options are extremely limited. However, a UK-based company has both Android and Linux on the device it introduces.
Planet Computers launched the dual-operating Android PDA module , which promises to support other operating systems, including Linux . The UK-based company has kept its promise and offers a multi-boot support as well as a rooted Android image with Linux.
In the new device called Cosmo Communicator, there is the software atmosphere of the old generation computers. It is also necessary to underline some of the shortcomings of the Cosmo Communicator module, which also enables the Debian system thanks to the TWRP boot . Stating that the users should know how to divide the storage areas and their paths in the boot menu , the developer has a hard time reaching the basic customer in this regard.
Although the Linux version is a full desktop environment developed by Planet Computers, it comes with ARM-based MediaTek Helio P70 processor and 5.99-inch FHD + display. Users are also warned that creating new partitions practically results in data loss, and it is necessary to back up the phone before making these changes.
