          @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.

                    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.

                                        Thanks, there is indeed the PinePhone kernel sources there. However, my question is more about how far are we to see the PinePhone supported in the vanilla Linux kernel? Are there many patches in the kernel above that aren't in Linux (yet)? Who's leading the effort to see them integrated? (Pine64, or the community members...) Are there patches which will probably be refused for whatever reason leading to a situation where the custom kernel will ever be needed? Are there blobs which cannot be integrated at all? Etc... I'd love to read about that somewhere. No hurry of course, it's more important to get the phone working first, but detailed blog posts on that topic would probably bring a lot of interest to the project.

                                            I think Pine64 is right on target here. The price is low to focus on getting a device quickly to the public for exposure and to get development/interest started. This is exactly what they should be focused on unlike the other company that has better specs, but the price is insane and they still have yet to ship a unit.

                                            I also like the idea of being able to keep the frame of the phone and bring able to swap out the main board out with a better/newer one in the future. This itself is a great feature because accessories like a keyboard case and screen protectors can be retained. Also, with the cameras bring modular there could be an option to use camera combinations the user wants, being that the soc can support the cam.

                                            Having a screen resolution of 720p is also smart because personally anything larger on a small screen is pointless and wastes battery power. If you need something bigger, plug in a monitor. I think they are on to something here.
