MEET THE PINEPHONE PRO, OUR FLAGSHIP SMARTPHONE AND THE BEST WAY TO EXPERIENCE
MAINLINE LINUX ON A MOBILE DEVICE


EXPLORER EDITION NOW AVAILABLE!


$399*

Pre-order now


* Additional charges, such as import taxes and shipping fees apply


WHAT’S INSIDE?

We learned a lot from working on the original PinePhone. Over the past two years
we painstakingly collected and analyzed your feedback and explored all avenues
for hardware improvements. The PinePhone Pro is the end result of this journey.
It is powered by a Rockchip hexa-core SoC operating at 1.5GHz, and ships paired
with 4GB of dual-channel LPDDR4 RAM as well as 128GB of internal eMMC flash
storage. It features a high-fidelity 13MP main camera sensor and a 5MP
front-facing camera.

We worked closely with Rockchip’s engineering team to fine-tune the SoC’s
performance so that it meets the necessary thermal and battery-consumption
envelopes. The result of this cooperation is the RK3399S – a RK3399 variant made
specifically for the PinePhone Pro. Rockchip’s team was also instrumental in
enabling the PinePhone Pro’s suspend state, which allows the smartphone to
receive calls and SMS messages while preserving battery.

Hardware privacy dip switches for the cameras, the microphone, WiFi & BT,
headphone jack (enabling UART) and the LTE modem (including GPS) are accessible
under the back cover, just as on the original PinePhone.




WHAT’S THE OUTSIDE LIKE?

We wanted the PinePhone Pro to reflect its status as a pro-grade device while
maintaining perfect compatibility with all existing PinePhone peripherals. The
PinePhone Pro uses the same pogo-pin systems and back cover attachment as the
original PinePhone, making it compatible with all existing add-ons. The
keyboard, PineDio LoRa, fingerprint reader and wireless charging cases will all
work with the PinePhone Pro. 

The PinePhone Pro features a vibrant in-cell IPS display covered with Corning
Gorilla Glass 4™  with an oleophobic coating, offering superior scratch
resistance and image clarity. The camera is covered by Corning Gorilla Glass 4™
and protected by an elevated bezel, similar to the one found on the original
PinePhone.

The chassis is slightly thicker (~2mm) than the original PinePhone’s.
Proportions of the original design were altered to accommodate the new display
and to allow for improved heat dissipation. The coating on the back of the
PinePhone Pro has been given a premium feel and engineered to minimize oily
fingerprints. We think you’ll be pleased with the end-result. 




WHO IS IT FOR?

Contemporary mobile Linux operating systems have a way to go before they can be
considered true alternatives to Android or iOS. While mobile Linux isn’t in a
state that could satisfy most mainstream electronics consumers, we recognize
that a sizable portion of our community is ready to make the jump to a
Linux-only smartphone today. The PinePhone Pro has the raw horsepower to be your
daily driver, granted you’re ready to accept the current software limitations. 

In a nutshell: if you are an existing PinePhone owner and your only wish is for
the device to be more powerful and refined, then the PinePhone Pro is for you.


WHO ISN’T IT FOR?

We’re not in the business of selling empty promises – a much faster mainline
Linux smartphone won’t make the existing operating systems more refined, nor
will it magically spawn software replacements for your iOS or Android
applications. There is a long road ahead of us, all of us, and it will require
time and effort for the software to reach a degree of maturity that would
satisfy mainstream users.

If you depend on proprietary mainstream mobile messenger applications, banking
applications, use loyalty or travel apps, consume DRM media, or play mobile
video games on your fruit or Android smartphone, then the PinePhone Pro is
likely not for you.




HOW’S THE PERFORMANCE?

Tasks such as opening applications, browsing the internet, interacting with the
user interface or watching videos are on par with recent mid-range Android
smartphones. Many of you will also be happy to hear that native Linux games as
well as popular retro game emulators work great on the PinePhone Pro – be it
SuperTuxKart, PSP, or Dreamcast emulation, you’ll be in for a treat. 

When docked and connected to an external monitor and keyboard and mouse, the
PinePhone Pro performs well when surfing the web, using the terminal or an
office suite, watching 1080p videos, and even in light photo editing. The
perfect pocketable Linux computer on the go.




WHAT’S THE AVAILABILITY LIKE?

We have started taking PinePhone Pro pre-orders from developers on October 15,
2021, and expect to have them delivered by December this year.

We have also secured the necessary components and factory floor-time to produce
a large production run of the PinePhone Pro in November; we’re calling it the
Explorer Edition. If everything goes according to plan, early adopters will have
their Explorer Edition units delivered in early 2022.

Subscribe to our blog, Telegram and Discord news feeds or follow us on Twitter
and Mastodon to be notified when Explorer Edition becomes available.   




WHAT DOES IT RUN? 

Openness means privacy and security as well as software choice. Just as the
original PinePhone, the PinePhone Pro runs mainline Linux (with patches, which
are being upstreamed) with open source drivers. 

The default operating system for the PinePhone Pro is Manjaro Linux with KDE
Plasma Mobile, but we expect to see it supported by most of the operating
systems already available for the original PinePhone. It is also likely that
PinePhone Pro will give rise to new software options. We cannot wait to see what
the community comes up with. 




WHERE DO I LEARN MORE?

More information about the PinePhone Pro will be available in the days and weeks
to come. We encourage you to read the October Community Update featuring an
explanation of the rationale behind bringing the PinePhone Pro to the market and
an account of our team’s decision-making process.

Technical details, including schematics, information pertaining to individual
components as well as available operating systems, certification and much more
is available on our Wiki.


HOW DO I JOIN THE PROJECT?

The PinePhone Pro boasts a large and vibrant community of developers, members of
other mobile Linux projects and enthusiasts like yourself. We host an
interconnected network of chats and forums which facilitate communication and
cooperation. Everyone is welcome – join in!

FAQ


I AM A PINEPHONE OWNER – WILL I BE ABLE TO UPGRADE IT BY INSTALLING A PINEPHONE
PRO MAINBOARD?

Probably not. While the PinePhone Pro’s mainboard will fit the PinePhone, the
chassis, IPS display panel, cameras, the daughterboard, and thermal dissipation
systems are all different. For instance, the PinePhone Pro’s cameras will not
fit into the PinePhone chassis and are electrically incompatible with the
PinePhone’s mainboard. Software enablement would also be required to drive the
original PinePhone’s components (such as the LCD) using the PinePhone Pro’s
mainboard. Thermal dissipation is another important consideration, as the higher
heat output may not be trivial to overcome in the original PinePhone’s chassis.

 


WILL YOU KEEP ON PRODUCING AND SELLING THE ORIGINAL PINEPHONE?

Absolutely! There are many people who either need a less expensive option or
simply aren’t ready to make the commitment to switch to a Linux smartphone just
yet. The PinePhone will keep on catering to this crowd for the foreseeable
future.

Moreover, we believe that the PinePhone will retain its position as the most
popular mobile Linux development platform on the market due to its price point
and broad adoption. We know that the development community depends on the
PinePhone’s continued availability, so we will produce it for as long as there
is demand and available components.


 


CAN I USE THE PINEPHONE KEYBOARD AND OTHER ADD-ON BACK CASES WITH THE PINEPHONE
PRO?

Yes, we designed the midframe and pogo pin layout of the PinePhone Pro to be
compatible with the original PinePhone. You can expect all PinePhone
accessories, bar the original PinePhone’s soft and hard protective covers, to
work with the PinePhone Pro. Future accessories will strive to be compatible
with both smartphones.

 


HOW DOES THE PINEPHONE PRO COMPARE TO THE PINEBOOK PRO PERFORMANCE-WISE?

Although both devices use a similar SoC, due to the thermal constraints imposed
by the chassis, the PinePhone Pro is around 20% slower than a Pinebook Pro. The
RK3399S chips used in the PinePhone Pro are binned and voltage locked for
optimal performance with sustainable power and thermal limits. That said, the
perceived performance of the two devices ought to be comparable due to the
PinePhone Pro’s lower screen resolution and better optimization.

 


DOES THE PINEPHONE PRO HAVE FEWER BLOBS AND MORE OPEN FIRMWARE THAN THE
ORIGINAL?

The PinePhone Pro is as open as the original PinePhone. Read more here.

 


WILL PINEPHONE PRO’S PRODUCTION BE AFFECTED BY GLOBAL COMPONENT SHORTAGES?    

It is highly likely that production will be affected by global component
shortages at some stage, but it is very difficult for us to determine the
degree, given how hard it is to foresee how the situation will unfold in the
coming months. Our website features an inventory availability, stock and
shipping status page updated on a regular basis.     




HOW REPAIRABLE IS THE PINEPHONE PRO?

Just as the original PinePhone, the PinePhone Pro is built to be user repairable
and we will offer spare parts in the Pine Store. The store’s selection will
include all parts that frequently break if the device is dropped (the screen,
back case and mid section) as well as all electronic components, including the
mainboard.

The PinePhone Pro is held together by standard Phillips screws –  all you need
to repair it is a suitable screwdriver and some spare time.
