I’m not sure Pine64 has a goal of bringing a product to retail readiness; the PinePhone was getting there, then they released the PinePhone Pro which broke a lot of the work done…
Idk. I don’t have the expertise to do low level work like battery tuning or fixing audio with any kind of efficiency, but once that work is done, I’d like to help get apps ported/created.
Also not so ridiculously expensive for what you are getting. I understand that economies of scale are a thing but asking me to pay >500$ for specs significantly lower than a 200$ Samsung is a really tough sell when it is worse at everything in the first place.
Personally it doesn’t need to be user friendly for me to use it, just have decent specs. Like at least a flagship phone from 2019 kind of specs. All the Linux phones are unbearably slow and have crap cameras and battery life.
I’m ready for Linux Phone. No more of this big tech bullshit.
Yes, please this. Current phones like the PinePhone just need a bit of polish and then I’m ready to go.
The thing is, how do we bring that about?

I’m not sure who to throw money at or whatever.

Its never coming to mass market in a user friendly package

Yeah but it needs to be user friendly in order get adoption and support. How many tech pieces are lost because they cant find a market.
Im in agreeemnt that I just need a camera, phone text and browser mainly.
