TBH if you’re just now thinking about getting into mobile Linux it’s worth knowing how things stand now: the PinePhone Pro was the more powerful Linux phone and had promise as a dev platform, but Pine64 officially discontinued it in 2025 because it just didn’t sell enough to keep production going. Spare parts are supposed to be around for a bit and there might be refurbished units from Pine Store if you’re lucky, but no new stock is coming.

That's disappointing as my PinePhone is almost reliable, with the latest software updates (I use Danctnix) and updated modem firmware. It doesn't seem to be dropping the modem anymore. I was hoping that a 2026 Pinephone might have capitalised on these advances.
