I wanted to provide some images to give other users an idea of the PinePhone in relation to other phones.   I test software and so have a few phones to compare them to etc...

In my opinion  the PinePhone is dimensionally closest to the Samsung Galaxy S9+  and so i placed it next to it for the photo's.

In the comparison images  the order of  phones from left to right is as follows.  [ Iphone X, Samsung Galaxy S9+, PinePhone, Samsung Galaxy Note 9, Sony ZX Premium]

The same phone order is used for the  image showing the thickness of the devices.

Hopefully other users can add there comparison pictures to this thread as well,.

this time I check the system log 
I'm with the default debian the pinebook was on battery power and on demand settings cpu I've just watch youtube video on 720p 
when in happen so it was not so cpu demanding 
Its hardware problem and I want to get some solution that't really unacceptable
I understand that's a cheap machine but at the end that's too much.. And that's not all missing screw from the box 
(still waiting support team to contact me about that screw 2 weeks already) no quality control what so ever ... how to spend my money on another pine64 product again ?
PS. Will not even mention the speakers that always produce some noise without running anything ...
Hope to hear something from the PBP support team..

Second most stupid question at all (just to leave some space to the ceiling):

How the hack can I open the phone to access SIM card slot/SD card slot/battery?

Are there somewhere some "manuals" or whatsoever for this?

FOSDEM 2020 - short blog and hardware announcements:

Blog Entry

Hey everyone, I've created working images for openSUSE Tumbleweed and Fedora. You can grab them here https://github.com/smithmcgriff

I've read a ton of threads and see a lot of discussion around charging/discharging, links to Amazon power supplies, links to Pine64 usb to to barrel adapter. 

Is there an incoming wiki section on charging solutions? Similar to the NVMe wiki section... basically a wiki section that confirms which barrel chargers work  and which usb type-c chargers work well?

Due to my location shipping will be a pain. Otherwise I would happily be a guinea pig and report back suggested power supplies on Amazon.

Hi,

I'd like to build myself a media center.
As software I would like Kodi / libreElec or something based on Debian (it's the system I know best).

As hardware I would have thought a RockPro64 4Gb.
Also I would like a quality audio output: I have seen some POT boards but I didn't understand how to use them and if they are compatible with RockPro64 and libreElec.

I would use an eMMC for the operating system but all media files would reside on a separate nas.

I would control everything with the web interface

Do you have any suggestions? Will it work ;) ?

Thank you,
Rickyx

Do Pine64 sell any UK power supplies suitable for the Pinebook Pro?

Hi, I just wanted to report that Eternity Engine for Doom is compilable on Manjaro. There are two hoops two jump through:

1. Install adlmidi(or libadlmidi...?) from AUR
2. Compilation fails with some libpng error. Libpng is statically linked. If you replace the libpng folder in the Eternity source code tree with one downloaded from libpng webpage, the game will compile.

For resource-hungry maps, prboom-plus seems to be the best of all worlds when it comes to compatibility and performance. There are some maps which require Eternity or Gzdoom, though.
