How is PinePhone Pro now? It's been over a year since its release and reading on reddit a few months ago it still seemed behind the original PinePhone. I would like to upgrade to the Pro version, but I'm worried it will be another year for it to be stable.
I think its on par with the original PP now. I also own PP and I would recommend to upgrade, performance is way better.
But if you do, I would recommend to use megi's u-boot fork to improve your battery life.
That's cool! So there aren't any issues with phone calls anymore? I think people complained about audio quality, but I guess my PinePhone also has some issues like that.
Doesn't everything use Tow-Boot now?
No call issues at all, I daily drive it.
Yes, but it's a distribution of U-Boot and it some releases behind. Megi recently implemented many cool features for U-Boot for PPP and it will take time until they appear in Tow-Boot. So I would recommend to use provided binaries from Megi for now, see his blog for more details: https://xnux.eu/log/091.html.
Didn't know about this, thanks!
