There is no reason we can't have a proprietary radio chip connected to an open source phone.
- frosted-flakes 6y agoI think that's how the Pine phone works. All of the components and software are open source, except the cellular radio.
- Scene_Cast2 6y agoWith regular phones, the radio stuff is pretty darn separate, too (and in case of Snapdragon 865, on a separate chip).
- mPReDiToR 6y agoAs sibling comment says, PinePhone works like this FOR NOW. OSS version is being built, but like a few things on PP "not quite ready". When they are ready, get one. They'll be amazing no matter which OS you end up with.
