It is ridiculous. What is needed is a support for advert & bloat & forced updates free smart phone, not reinventing the wheel. Yes, someone must be first - but it is about software, not hardware.

but it is about software, not hardware.

Hey Bestie! Sorry, but you are absolutely wrong here. 😊

There are several options for free and open source software for mobile applications, and it only works with a teeny tiny sliver of the available hardware because almost none of the hardware is even remotely open. 😭

At this stage, it is absolutely about hardware that actually supports the OS community, because all the software imaginable is useless if it can’t run on any available hardware! 😁

Kthx, Lots of Love! 🀩

They are all shit except jello may be. If it was that good it will be a tsunami into the market. You cannot make a phone with such a poor hardware. 4G said it all

I like Jello! My favorite flavor is Lime, how about you? πŸ˜ƒ

Also, 4G was the dominant mobile technology for over 10 years, there are probably close to 10 BILLION 4G phones on the planet, WOW! 🀯 It sure seems like someone was able to make a phone with such hardware!

I like Mint too.

Hourra for Jolla

Pinephone is running with 4 x ARM A53 and 1 ARM Mali 400 and it still damn slow. Not reactive. ESP32 is perfect for a DIY phone, for hobbyists. It’s not a first try. The 6G is starting 4G switch off will start in less than 2 years. Dead before to be born lol
