pinephone 2 specs discussion - 5G WiFi6 BT5 NFC? -
#4
Pinephone 2 software as open source as possible. This gives more trust in the whole project in contrast to regular android phones:

no binary blobs for booting
no blobs for camera
open source wifi firmware - pinecone is already worked on

Work on open sourcing modem firmware is amazing. further development on this front for pinephone 2 would be really great

Better hardware. Often chunky experience is reported for UI on pinephone.

Ram >=4gb
better cpu
better power management
camera - the one available now is just poor

Quartz 64 looks like a very good starting point for pinephone 2/pro - with much improved performance, power efficiency and possible support for better camera

Would be great to see some timelime for pinephone 2

Pinephone 1 reached some level of maturity and most of work is done on optimizing software while nothing conceptually new will be done on the hardware to improve the experience. And w/o better hardware possibilities of improvement are quite limited.

hardware killswitches available from outside w/o need to take phone apart
