Modular upgrades in future? - Cree - 09-23-2020
Just a suggestion, maybe already in the works. I think it would be great to have upgrades for hardware available in the store at some point. Im happy with my pp so far, but i know some consumer-type folk who dont think our inanimate deity is a shiny enough object to purchase just yet. You know the type, the iphone/instagram sort of folk. The most common complaint i hear from people i tell about the pinephone is that the camera isnt good enough. Funny thats the most common thing people care about, i havent heard one person express apprehension over linux being unfamiliar to them. Anyway, i bluff like a good salesman and say, its modular, when they upgrade the camera you can just switch it. True, if we do get one... So I'll suggest it to pine64 as an aftermarket offering... Fake it till pine64 makes it, aye?.... Lol. Anyway, probably a few cool aftermarket options p64 could add to the store.
-Higher mp camera
-Anodized aluminum back cover
-any other suggestions?..... Feel free to add!

Superficial stuff:
- A back cover that has more grip stickier to fingers (current one wants to make a bid for freedom all the time)
Technical stuff:
- A larger battery that was talked about being explored in May 2020 (5,000mAh)
- Slide out keyboard like Nokia N900/N950 with sensible key layout
