How is buying a Samsung with its planned obsolescence not creating electronic waste? Most Pine products are supported by the mainstream kernel so will likely get software updates for their physical life.
- nix23 5y agoI wait 2 years then i throw lineage os on it, last phone was a nexus 5. I bet your pinephone will not be usable for 7 years....2gb ram right? BTW can you receive sms already?
- jascii 5y ago3gb, works fast and snappy with sxmo. And yes, I have been able to receive and send sms since I got it. What did you want to bet for?
- nix23 5y agoThe seven years? The newest raspberrypi starterset at that moment (2028)?
- jascii 5y agoSure! Though a more interesting test would be the total useful lifespan of either phone, Pine vs your Samsung. Oh, and I already have over a year and a half on mine :D Do you think you can even get a replacement battery for your a12 in 3 years?
- nix23 5y ago>Do you think you can even get a replacement battery for your a12 in 3 years? Ah yes since the producer of phones needs to support them 5 years in franc (repair and updates), and hopefully 7 years (just security updates) in the future by eu law. Ok then lets say 2027 ;)
