Or someone, anyone, make a functional clone of it.
I don't care much which OS I have to run, they are all the same now. I just want a smart phone that fits in a single hand.
I tried the palm and it is a bit too small, and the battery life was insanely bad.

- opencl 7y agoIt's already not what most people would call a sensible price. Seems difficult to significantly shrink a phone that has a pair of M.2 slots in it though.
- thinkmassive 7y agoPine64 is going for that angle with the PinePhone: https://www.pine64.org/pinephone/ https://www.pine64.org/pinephone/ The specs are far from the Librem 5, and software support is basically DIY, but at $150 it might be worth trying if you want a Linux hobbyist phone.

- bscphil 7y agoI wonder if you'd find the Xperia Ace (or an XZ2 if you want used) close enough for you. I think the Xperia line is where I'll be looking for my next phone, personally. https://phonesized.com/compare/#632,968 https://phonesized.com/compare/#632,968 Edit: additionally, it looks like the Xperia is thick enough to have no noticeable camera bump. Has a 3.5 mm jack too; I like the look of this quite a lot.
