PinePhone Pro
If buying the PinePhone internationally please do not use USPS or Globegistics.
This phone is not ready for mass market adoption, or to be used as a "daily driver" phone. This is a Linux enthusiast phone for those who are willing to work around shortcomings and obstacles while waiting (or helping) the software reach a more mature level, the PinePhone currently lacks the ability to run apps commonly found on standard smartphones and it is only recommended for Linux phone enthusiasts.
Meet the PinePhone Pro, flagship smartphone and the best way to experience mainline Linux on a mobile device
The PinePhone Pro is powered by a Rockchip RK3399S hexa-core SoC operating at 1.5GHz, and ships paired with 4GB of dual-channel LPDDR4 RAM as well as 128GB of internal eMMC flash storage. It features a high-fidelity 13MP main camera sensor and a 5MP front-facing camera.
Pine worked with Rockchip’s engineering team to fine-tune the SoC’s performance so that it meets the necessary thermal and battery-consumption envelopes. The result of this cooperation is the RK3399S – a RK3399 variant made specifically for the PinePhone Pro. Rockchip’s team was also instrumental in enabling the PinePhone Pro’s suspend state, which allows the smartphone to receive calls and SMS messages while preserving battery.
Hardware privacy dip switches for the cameras, the microphone, WiFi & BT, headphone jack (enabling UART) and the LTE modem (including GPS) are accessible under the back cover, just as on the original PinePhone.
