pinephone?
I was gonna buy a pinephone, but i want to know if this is really the best choice. I'm a real fan of the hardware switches. Any recommendations?

It is fun to play with, but it is not suitable to use as a primary phone. It has poor battery life and is very slow.

GrapheneOS gives you the most control.

The Librem phone from Purism is like Pinephone, but a bit more cohesive and with better specs. Also more expensive, but if you're considering a Linux phone, then Librem might be a better choice

do you think the pro is more suitable at least computing power wise? like could it run matrix clients / simplex?
4 1 ReplyI have a PinePhone Pro, and it runs nheko very well. Fractal is a little slower, but still usable. Not sure about Simplex I'm afraid.
