Hello people.

I read about the above linked article on a new HTC blockchain-capable smartphone.

Now my 2 questions are: 

1) >How can this phone act as a "FULL NODE" of BTC? Is this really true? You could throw away your full node on linux computer, and instead use the HTC phone?

-First, I have difficulty to understand how its going to store the hundreds of GB of data...

-I am thinking about the mining activity. how can this small piece of phone chip do mining if it cannot achieve high hash rates?

2) Is such a fullnode phone helpful and positive impact on the overall btc network (what are the positive impacts?)?

Thank you for explanations.
