What the other comment said. Since Valve is already half way there with their Steam Frame version of SteamOS(which run on ARM architecture, where phone and tablet also use) and Linux phone iirc do exists, it’s only a matter on how much futher Valve wanna go. So as of now they “technically” already have half a steam phone.
It’s a few gens back top of the line snapping turtle (Snapdragon), 16 giggies of ram & some disk space, a battery, two LCDs, a bunch of cameras, an sd card slot, speakers, huge battery, and it runs Linux (SteamOS of unknown openness).
Maybe it could “receive phone calls” (eww) if you would plug in a usb (or pcie) modem.
I think what they meant is that the technology exists since steam frame is an ARM based device it’s just a matter of running it on different hardware and adding firmware support for things like phone calls and touch screens.
Not sure I follow… A steam frame isn’t a phone. It can’t make or receive phone calls

It only lacks a modem & dual antennas tho.
