Pine64 updated the PinePhone with the PinePhone Pro.
- mixmastamyk 1y agoGuess I thought of that one as more like a "fix," since the first one was not fit for purpose. Still not good enough, needs spec bump and driver support.
- beeflet 1y agoI was looking at potential linux phones the other day, postmarketOS has ports for phones as new as fairphone 4 and OnePlus 6. They don't have any phones with decent camera support though. https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices
- mixmastamyk 1y agoHmm, I saw the fairphone 5 on another page and the hardware support is not substantially worse. Install page says you need fairphone.com to give you permission to unlock. :-/
- beeflet 1y agoyeah most android phones do, it has to do with the modem I think
- throwaway74354 1y ago>driver support It's Pine64, their whole business model is «Here's the hardware, you're on your own now».
- mixmastamyk 1y agoNot a good business model if they can’t afford to rev the hardware.
- seba_dos1 1y agoIt was more like making the PinePhone catch up to Librem 5. I'm writing this on my L5 and I still have no prospects if I wanted to upgrade.
