Pine64 is Working on a Linux Smartphone Running KDE Plasma

The actual phone design has already started but will not be finalized until Q2, 2019 after getting inputs from developer board and also pending on open software progress.

Lim said that they are using this three steps approach to avoid other Linux Phone misstep failures. The PinePhone separate out SoC and LTE module due to mainline binary blobs and GPL concern.

The targets price should be in $100+ range for 2GB RAM and 16GB storage configuration.

PinePhone “BraveHeart” Limited Edition Linux Smartphone Is Now Available For $150

Pinephone is a Linux smartphone powered by an Allwinner A64 processor, and running one of the various Linux mobile distributions such as PostmarketOS or Ubuntu Touch among others.

Last time we wrote about Pinephone mass-production schedule, the phone was expected to start shipping in October, and there has been a slight delay, but the good news is that Pinephone “BraveHeart” Limited Edition is now up for sale for $149.99. Note this batch is for enthusiasts as the phone may have some defects, and comes without operating system with the users having to flash it themselves.

Google and Apple have conspired to install tracking spyware into your smartphones with the coronavirus excuse in a mandatory update

https://9to5google.com/2020/04/13/android-contact-tracing-google-play-services/

Here are some ways to avoid it:

1 Don't use Apple, it's a closed source tyranny, destroy them

2 Get devices like #pinephone, #librem or other non Android #phones instead

3 If you have an Android, be sure you can unlock the bootloader to be able to install a clean operating system (rom) free from Google spyware (without gapps).
Search on the internet your phone model + unlock bootloader.
Then install a recovery like twrp and from it a rom without gapps

4 Check out these instructions for Android if you don't have unlocked bootloader or root:

DHL sent ALL PinePhones to New Zealand instead of their actual destinations 🤦.

How this happened is beyond us. This is a blunder on their part, but ultimately we're the ones that get to apologize to you - very sorry about this. It will take aprx a week to sort this situation out
