$399 PinePhone Pro Explorer Edition Linux Smartphone will go on sale within weeks
The PinePhone Pro began shipping to developers earlier this month. And soon it’ll be available for anyone to purchase.
Pine64 has announced that it will begin taking orders for the $399 Linux-friendly smartphone in late December or early January.
First announced in October, the PinePhone Pro is a smartphone with a 6 inch HD+ display, a Rockchip RK3399S hexa-core processor, 4GB of RAM, 128GB of storage. While those specs put the phone in mid-range territory, they aren’t the things that make the PinePhone Pro stand out.
Pine64’s new smartphone has a few features that seem like throwbacks in 2021… but in a good way. It has a removable 3,000 mAh battery, a headset jack, and a microSD card reader. The phone also has physical switches that allow you to disable hardware including the cameras, mic, headphones, and wireless features if you want privacy.
