This may be a bit of a hot take, but I think the hardware support for the original pinephone has gotten about as good as it's going to get. And that's ok. I suppose more stability patches would be in the cards maybe, but what's really holding the phone back is the slow trickle growth of good software to use on it. Which is also fine.
I've had mine 2 years now and I still marvel at how much more usable and sleek performance has gotten since launch. The pinephone will never be "great" for consumers, but I think (despite its limited hardware) it will become far better than it has any right to be, especially long-term.
