            Yes, taxes will be probably around 10% so 15$
            But in case of the PinePhone, taxes are not taken at source they explicitly notice that they can be expected on delivery.

              A new Aliexpress policy, doing it at source.
              but gives an idea what to expect,no nasty surprizes

                  @kugiigi all PinePhones will ship from Hong Kong; NOT mainland China.

                    In the past, imported electronic devices arrive, and then a while later (1+ week or so) a note from the USA Federal people arrives with a bill for your imported device. My memory is more than 10%, but it was a while ago. YMMV.

                      @PINE64 Thanks, I just have it shipped directly here in the Philippines πŸ™‚
                      Hopefully, not much taxes πŸ˜„
                      Excited to play with it and perhaps become my main driver eventually.

                          Nah, I told him I'm rich, so no tax and I can deduct the price. πŸ™‚

                            Is it feasible, for ubports installer to be set up to install ubports on the pinephone.
                            If its possible ,surely many would opt for this β€œ easy way ” and then many would keep
                            ubports as their base β€œOS” with the option to β€œplay” from the sdcard.
                            just a thought,( but i guess you are doing that already).

                              I would assume that is the plan, but I doubt it will happen until the port is past initial testing.

                                  Will the pinephone support miracast? Would be a cool feature! (Of course this phone will be amazing without it as well πŸ™‚ )

                                      Was actually just watching that and came to this thread to post it here. But it's okay if you beat me in posting your own video, I don't mind. πŸ˜‰

                                      Thanks as always for the great info.

                                        @PINE64 where can I read about support of the PinePhone in mainline Linux kernel? How many patches / out-of-tree are out there, can you confirm that your goal is to run on a stock linux kernel?

                                              @Marathon2422 Thats about right, Brave Heart units will likely start shipping beginning of January.
