• Battery management and charging 
  As documented plenty of times the RK818 just does not fit the purpose as it is designed for low power devices with a fixed battery
  A new charge controller should avoid persistant fuel gauging and support modern fast charging of at least 15W (limit of the batteries) so 9V2A.
  
• Stepping of the processor/gpu
  While a new SOC might not be necessary, a new batch could fix some hardware problems of the SOC, like some of the usb reset problems and gpu problems for a working vulkan driver
  
• Hardware solution for the Cameras
  It has become obvious that controlling the image pipeline of the SOC is too hard. New cameras should implement the image processing in hardware and not require any post processing (like usb webcams)
  
• Maybe a decent speaker

iam pretty interested in the PinePhone Pro and really like the concept. But sadly, 4Gib RAM and the RK3399S are just too week for todays use. Now my question is if there are plannes to bring out a new version with more ram (like 8Gib or so) and a better chip (Like the RK3588), or to bring just a new mainboard with upgraded parts that can be swapped out.
Thank you for your help
