Pinephone LED Fresnel lens - Commentary
#1
Pinephone's case covers the LED with a Fresnel lens probably to diffuse the light.

The problem is that the lens analyses the spectrum of the white light and produces circular rings of different wavelengths(colours), so we start from a warm yellowish colour in the middle and we reach blue on the outter periphery.

There are various such things that I wish to modify on Pinephone even by replacing ICs if this is possible.

My general observation is that Pinephone seems to be purposefully designed to be of inferior performance comparing with phones of a similar class, everything somehow "isn't working so well" for no specific reason though we have already been many years in the age of smartphones and we also have many years of experience with Ubuntu Touch.

The same observations apply to the audio quality though I have not still researched whether I can somehow optimise it except for putting the Pinephone in a box to gain some bass.
