Suggestion: better performing pinephone

[AndrewBlackmiller]

On one hand because stronger usually means more expensive ...and on the other hand I think we have to do something against these "planned obsolescence" problem.

If we use our resources - a mobile phone for instance - with more care we safe our environment in the long term and a lot of money in the short term -> win -win situation
For instance - would you buy a new car if just by doing a service it will run as fast as new?

Trust me, I know what's possible just by doing the right Software-Optimizations, because I've done this in the past many times on my dally job.
You wouldn't believe what's possible

And maybe you guys can add some further ideas to move forward in that direction?

This is the 'Pinephone Hardware' subforum;
I will gladly use the 'Pinephone Software' subforum to make any Software Optimization recommendations I have there.

I won't be going into the 'Pinephone Software' subforum and telling threads that are pursuing software solutions &/or alternatives that hardware is the only acceptable question to be asked nor that Hardware is the only answer.

Some of us want to do things with Linux Phones that the Pinephone will never be able to do because of the hardware limitations no matter how well you optimize the software.  Some of us want true convergence and want to be able to do advanced containers, virtualization, & more which do require software but also require hardware that is expandable and it is not just about the Central Processing Unit (CPU) core speed...

Hi nodoze,

I was thinking about an appropriate answer to your somewhat harsh reply but I think the last 5 posts gave you the right answers, better than I could do it

But let me add just one important thing:
We have to see a "linux mobile" as a compound of hardware AND software. To get one part more powerful is just half or less of the equation.
BTW - this is why it absolutely makes sense to discuss software-optimization related to hardware in the hardware-thread

And again. I think we can get the Pinephone on actual specs to a level of usability that is on par with much "faster" and "more advanced" mobile phones running Android or iOS. And I also agree that any future "linux mobile" will benefit from any optimizations done now!

So lets stop talking about "powerful hardware" if we just have to kick the Bits to do their job faster ))

Best regards,
Andrew
