- ge96 5y agoI have it (explorer edition), it's more powerful but right now camera does not work. Has a problem of waking from sleep too. I've tried different setups eg. Manjaro/KDE (default), Arch/Mobian Phosh. KDE is more like a phone, Phosh is "more stable" and particularly my interest external display which is buggy. Regarding battery I have now just started to remove them from the phone rather than putting it in Airplane mode because it still dies too fast. The squad [0] I have Mobian/Phosh running on SD card, see the 6 cores and 4 GB of RAM [1] I use Tmobile for service cheap sms/call only plan I don't use it as a daily driver yet, like install an email client and things like that. Was more interested in docked computing as a desktop. I know about Samsung Dex but I'm still onboard for a new OS, I'm particularly annoyed with forced bloat/permission issues (some understandable).

- kop316 5y agoThe Pinephone Pro's software support is will a WIP. It mostly works, but there are still quite a few quirks before I would feel comfortable using at as a daily driver. (For comparision, I have no qualms using a Pinephone or Librem 5 as a daily driver, I currently am using my Librem 5 as my main phone).
- cookiengineer 5y agoCan recommend to try out SXMO [1] which is very lightweight and doesn't have the same long lags as phosh has. [1] https://sxmo.org https://sxmo.org
