Agree woth you on the power cable. It does have exposed GPIO, though! You can see the connector above the CPU and other microchips in the first motherboard pic

Agree woth you on the power cable. It does have exposed GPIO, though! You can see the connector above the CPU and other microchips in the first motherboard picture. This is in keeping with the Odroid Go Super design, which also had exposed GPIO in that location. The bigger size allows for a much better screen. But I agree that you loose something in pocketability. I suppose technically you could upgrade the battery yourself. Although a larger battery is at ods with that size constraint. Eyeballing it, I would guess that you can swap the motherboard out from the previous generation Odroid Go Super, so that may actually be an option. I don't think I'd want a subscription, but sure some people might go for that.
