Suggestion: better performing pinephone
#2
A PinePhone based on the RK3399 is all but impossible. That chip is too large, makes too much heat, and is missing many of the peripherals you need when making an ultramobile device like a phone or tablet. It was designed for laptops and infotainment systems, and that is what it is best suited for.

Eventually there will be a new PinePhone based on new technology, but it's probably several years away. There's no good chip available at the moment to replace the A64, and also we don't want to fall victim to the Osborne effect.
