As a new PinePhone owner this month, screen res is a non-issue. No one is buying this phone as a daily driver right now. There's very few apps available. GPS was 50 miles off when I tried it. For devs interested in a new project, PinePhone needs your help!

That said, I haven't read the announcement closely but wonder why they used the "Pro" moniker. Just say it's the new version of the PinePhone? What problem does naming it "Pro" solve?

I think they wanted to avoid (unsuccessfully, it seems) people thinking it's the "new" Pinephone. Rather, as I understand it both will be sold at the same time, and one is just more powerful than the other.
- reginold 5y agoAppreciate your response! "Both will be sold at the same time" -- ah now I see what they're going for. Does this mean further fragmentation of their limited dev resources?
- TheUnelisted 5y agoNo, because any pretty much any work done for one device will help the other since they are mainline devices.
- swiley 5y agoI've been daily driving a Pinephone since 2020. There's a lot of stuff that doesn't work, when it's bad enough I deal with it.
