I understand that to do that you can remove some chips from the board but I don't want to risk breaking something else.
Could pine release to buy the updated board with the extra ram and emmc so i can swap them out in my device. I obviously don't need any other components and if I had known they would have increased the specs a month after the initial release i would have purchased that instead.
Slight differences :
The Standard New PMOS Community Edition phone still has the 2gb of ram and 16gb eMMC, just a 'updated' main board 1.2a
The Convergence Package is an 'upgrade' with the 3gb of ram and 32gb eMMC.
> The Convergence Package Does Cost More " $ " as it is expected to DO MORE.
So it is not like they suddenly changed the whole Pine phone platform, and everybody Now gets a "hotter" phone.
The 1.2a main board update is just an evolution to correct some shortcomings not foreseen.
The Convergence Package Upgrade is an " OPTION "
Someone Please correct me if I have got this wrong.

yeah i get that its an upgraded package and thats fine paying for the board is not a problem I would just like to know if there is a plan to release it for people who have already purchased a pinephone and want that upgrade. they dongle could be purchased along side it.
