I got the Phone, and everything arrived in a fancy looking KDE themed Package (likely the kind of Box they would use for Retail later on).
It came with a “USB-A -> USB-C” cable (USB 2.0 but with more robust insulation),
and a “USB-C-Male + USB-C-Female Power Input -> 2 USB-A + HDMI + Ethernet” Hub, which seems to work better with the PinePhone, than my other Hub does with the GPD-WIN-2.
Stuff is working okayish (early adopter stuff), or was working, until I decided to run an update, to which the Phone randomly shut down, due to low Battery (something reported wrong battery percentages to the OS), which bricked the install.
Hurray for me having to flash the eMMC Storage tomorrow or whenever… (Note: The PinePhone boots from SD Card first if possible, so I can use that for testing)
While reading up on a bunch of things, I saw that the PinePhone has similar performance as a Raspberry Pi 3, and that statement definitely feels accurate, but it is still smooth most of the time.
KDE Connect sadly only has very few Features working yet, so I cant even share Clipboard it seems, unless I need to install more Packages for that.
Did not get to test Cellular Connectivity and 4G yet. But that one is gonna be postponed for a while thanks to the now bricked install. lol
One of the important things I would like to get working is tethering the PinePhone to the GPD-WIN-2 for Internet Connectivity, whenever there is no WiFi.
I’m gonna play around with it tomorrow I think. Unless looking up Stuff takes way too much time (reading before doing, not while doing).
And until my next Post here. ^^
