This is great, and I plan on getting one to support the project. I do however wish there was a smaller screen one (perhaps EInk) with more 4G bands like band 71, and with Anbox/microG support to run apps like Signal.
I would like to know what apps people are using for video chat, if they aren't using Signal.
- ryankrage77 6y agoI very much doubt the hardware in this can keep up with a video chat. It can barely play a YouTube video at 480p.
- herogreen 6y agoI just tested: Firefox is able to play reasonably well a Youtube video at 720p 25fps.
- megous 6y agoPinePhone can play FullHD video at 60FPS on an external 1440p monitor (incl. the up-scaling to 1440p) smoothly, without breaking a sweat. So as long as the codec is something supported, like H.264, video is no issue at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHOgVmxH_dA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHOgVmxH_dA SW is lacking somewhat, still.
- linmob 6y agoAnbox is supported in various distributions, see e.g. https://odysee.com/@linmob:3/manjaro-daily-dev-builds-for-pinephone-a:1?r=jjWC8HYkudmVjcFUH81zE4mUG6G7RVR6&t=518 https://odysee.com/@linmob:3/manjaro-daily-dev-builds-for-pi.... Video chat on the PinePhone is "early work in progress" at best, see https://marius.bloggt-in-braunschweig.de/2021/03/04/pinephone-breakthrou-on-fedora-pinephones/ https://marius.bloggt-in-braunschweig.de/2021/03/04/pinephon....
