Yea, I get that the s in sdX stands for sata, but why cant we have an ndX with n for nvme?

I dont need the power bank, since I can simply swap bateries. But in principle yes

Of course, everyone has different requirements on their phone, so the question if one would be comfortable running their buisness of a pine phone is quite divers.

Phone calls, texts and E-Mails

Text and E-Mails pretty much work as well as on every other phone. Phone calls work too, but the audio quality is below what one could expect from a modern iPhone.

Battery

While the battery runtime of one battery is definitely lower compared to competing devices, it is also replaceable. I usually spend my day in the office were the phone can be charged, so the battery life does not become an issue. When I am traveling I bring some extra batteries. The form factor is commonly available and batteries cost around 10 €, so I got 4 of them, which last me for ~36 hours until I have to charge them. I have so far never spend more time away from an outlet.

GPS

Works nowadays pretty reliable, accuracy of around 20 m is also good enough to find were I need to go

Bluetooth

Definitely not perfect but random disconnects happen rarely. On the other side I have an headphone jack, which always works reliably

Camera

Ok, this point goes to you, the camera is not usable. When taking pictures of documents I usually have to use my tablet.

So now to the overarching question:

Do you, in all honesty, feel comfortable enough with your device that you would confidently run a business solely through it? No, I would not feel comfortable to run a business through a phone, I need a real computer for my work. If I could only use a phone I would choose the pine phone, because at least it can run all software I require for my daily work. Connected to keyboard, mouse and a monitor it could be a slow, but acceptable work machine I can certainly imagine that there are jobs, which rely more heavily on a phone. But in these cases one should have separate work and private phones anyway

Plasma mobile comes with the anglefish browser as default (a mobile browser based on chromium) that has support for PWAs

The voyager PWA. Works really great and feels pretty much like a native app

Daily drivin Manjaro (Plasma mobile) on my Pinephone Pro for over a year now. If you are not into the whole “taking pictures all the time” thing you can easiy use it as a daily driver. (This message was typed on it)

I am using the PinePhonePro as my primary phone for over a year now. There are of course some challanges but it is definitly possible

These concers exist for Hydrogen too. While the Hydrogen tanks can last a longe time, the catalyst in the Fuel cell degrades, like the electrodes of batteries do. That means that the fuel cell needs to be replaced as well after some time. In addtition to that, fuel cell vehicles need batteries as well, since the fuel cell is slow to respond to load changes. These smaller batteries are stressed heavily in stop and go traffic and will need to be replaced a lot more often than Ev batteries.

I have to disagree with you on that. While it is true, that intel laptop chipsets offer often greater linux support than the amd chipsets, both platforms support linux and are much more dependent on the manufacturer of the motherboard than on the chipset

With the second statement I totally disagree. I even would go as far as to suggest the opposite. Linux on laptos only makes sense for APUs, since switching between dedicated and integrated graphics is still a manual process and using only the dedicated graphics chip tanks the battery life

Surprised that I cant find it in the comments allready: Definitly Minecraft

My Tuxedo Pulse 15 (Gen 1) had 12h of battery life doing office work, when it was new. Now with some degradation, it still gets 9h. Of course that changes heavily depending on workload and screen brightness

Is it just me or does it not work on mobile at all?

I dont think that is the case. Left leaning people are just much less accepting of authority, so there are more likely to move of of reddit. right leaning people also tend to be more conservative, so they are more likely to stay on there old platforms.

Awsome. Thank you so much, that is exacty what I was looking for

My phone runs on GNU/Linux (pinephone pro) so there are not many apps available. I have tried liftoff, but could not get it to compile.

I would just wish there would be a new Reddit view as well. It is just so annoying having to click on the images to zoom in

I am daily driving my PinePhone Pro running manjaro (Plasma Mobile) for about a year now. I can say, it is definitely daily driveable with some exeptions/limitations:

• The Battery life is horrible, like 3 h max usage from a battery. But since the batteries are cheap and can easily be swapped, I just have 4 of them to get through the day
• The camera is working in the sense, that it can make pictures. If you want nice pictures, bring a separate camera
• From time to time, cellular network connectivity drops out for short moments

Other than that it is pretty much functioning as a real phone. Of curse there are not that many apps. Telegram works natively and flawless, but whatsapp needs to be used via Whatsapp Web. For syncing all my documents and files I use nextcloud which works without any problems (once set up)

There is also the non Pro Version of the PinePhone, which is much slower, but has a better camera software and longer battery life (and is cheaper)
