At this point the only thing holding back more people from getting a Pine Phone is that the hardware is old and slow. If this happened could we do a PinePhone 2.0 that is a more mid ranged phone (like $400) as apposed to the low end phone we have now?
I understand why the PP is a low end phone, more people get a phone to report issues and bug and potentially develop for it. But it sure would be nice to have a device that is more capable at some point.
Would we need a 2.0? I would hope we could just upgrade hardware as pieces or upgrades. For example, I would like a better piece of glass. Otherwise the phone is great. If they upgrade the chipset, hopfully it would fit the form factor and I could just buy a new board etc.
I just know what new feature would require an actual upgrade to the whole phone. Maybe I am underestimating the changes needed to upgrade an individual part.
