PinePhone lansert — en sikker Linux-smarttelefon

Pine64 Company meldte about the launch of sales of the free secure smartphone PinePhone. The smartphone is aimed at those who believe that individuals should have full control over technology and their lives. Anyone who values privacy and hates the telemetry of Android and iOS is a potential buyer of the PinePhone. It’s time to send big brother away /dev/null!

The first batch flew off the shelves like hot cakes, but soon in the store a new batch will appear.

The PinePhone costs only $150. The smartphone's hardware is completely replaceable — each module can be removed and replaced or upgraded to a more powerful one using detachable flex cables.

PinePhone supports multiple OS:

• Postmarket OS (KDE Plasma Mobile pre-installed);
• UBPorts (Ubuntu Touch);
• Maemo Leste;
• Nemo Mobile;
• Manjaro;
• LuneOS;
• SailfishOS;
• Support for NixOS will be available soon.

All these images can be downloaded and installed on the smartphone directly from the SD card.
