LG has completely given up on phones.
Plus you are focused on the wrong part of the stack. Pine and Librem are acceptable device manufacturers. They just need better SoCs / better software support for existing SoCs. Think Samsung Exynos, Rockchip, Mediatek.
- rjsw 5y agoPine64 is using Rockchip SoCs in other products. In the past they have done SBCs with a SoC before putting it in more challenging designs like the tablet and phone, maybe there will be a RK3566 phone at some point.
- 3np 5y agoThe RK3566-based Quartz64 boards currently getting released have been explicitly stated as the dev-platform for any upcoming devices. So barring something very unforeseen, I would expect a next-gen RK3566 pinephone being announced within a couple of years and released within 2-4y or so. Keep in mind Pinephone is (at least current gen) primarily intended as a dev device with a long lifecycle.
