Want to convert to an open-source, privacy-centric and community-supported Linux smartphone? Sounds like a daydream doesn't it? Well the Pine64 community has brought the dream to life with the PinePhone Linux Smartphone. Running mainline Linux and powered by an Allwinner A64 ARM Cortex-A53 quad-core processor, this phone provides an alternative to Android and iOS. Featuring a 1440x720p IPS display, the PinePhone looks just like a modern smartphone, and with 2 or 3GB of LPDDR3 RAM, a 16GB or 32GB eMMC module, 802.11n WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0, and 4G LTE Cat 4 worldwide band support, it will perform like one too. It has more expandability and connectivity than most other smartphones, including a headphone jack, microSD slot, 2Mpx front and 5Mpx rear cameras, GPS, a gyroscopic sensor and light sensor. In addition, the PinePhone has many options not included in most any other smartphone, like a pogo-pin I2C interface and privacy switches to turn off certain hardware features. For those wishing for their own Linux smartphone, the dream is coming soon!
