PinePhone

So we have many information about the PinePhone hardware on this thread, but as we are on the UT forum, I was expecting some UT devs to indicate and keep us up-to-date with the status of UT on the PinePhone.

Well, let's ask

PINE64 · 23 Aug 2019, 11:47

@B2288 That is correct. In short, if there is no end-user ready OS build by Feb 2020, then there is no real point in starting a large production-run.
As for what the status of the different OS' as of today - reach out to relevant developers.

I really like the colours and the little squares... This is THE picture of the summer !!

The scale looks a bit big to me but awesome work! I might consider buying the PinePhone as my daily driver

flohack · 29 Aug 2019, 16:21

@kugiigi The scale is probably the default from our device setup and can be changed anytime

@kugiigi haha I was thinking the reverse. With my eyesight and clumsy fingers, that scale would be great!

Updated the OP with mention (from a recent wiki update) of charging being to USB PD specifications. I don't actually know enough about USB PD or USB charging in general to know if that's significant, but I put it there for the benefit of those who do know.

As far as I know, PD means power delivery and it's capable of delivering more power and in both ways, meaning you can charge your phone or your phone can your something else.

Hi guys. The PinePhone is now real, developer pre-orders this month. Two enthusiast production-runs this year (Oct & Nov): https://www.pine64.org/2019/09/05/september-update-the-pinephone-is-real-shipping-soon/

kugiigi · 5 Sept 2019, 10:09

Hooray! and a great mention of UBports

Lakotaubp · 5 Sept 2019, 11:35

@PINE64 Excellent and exciting news and as normal very informative. Watching development very intently

trainailleur · 9 May 2019, 13:25

Many updates to the OP in the last five or six bullet points, as well as some new images and video links from Lukasz's update, and also of course a direct link to that update, which is an absolute gold mine of great info.

@PINE64 , many thanks for keeping us all in the loop. This is exciting news!

PINE64 · 5 Sept 2019, 19:50

Very glad to see everyone as excited as we are. We cannot wait to hear what developers say when they get their units this month / early October. Also thank you for all the support from this community!

malditobastardo · 5 Sept 2019, 20:16

I am ready to pick 2, one for me, the other for my wife -it was even her idea to get one!. Can't wait for october! Great job to everyone involved in this awesome inititive!

@PINE64 It's time to put the ol' Xiaomi Mi A1 on eBay in preparation! Can't wait. So many OS options....

normandc · 6 Sept 2019, 02:39

So I get that USB PD means quick charging, which is good. It's been a while since I read the whole topic, but I don't think it's been mentioned; with USB-C, does it mean this device could potentially support convergence?

Im very happy we have alternative hardware/software to the mainstream spyware. Ill be buying a pinephone immediately when available!
