Not a good news for the original PP. I personally don’t use Mobian and I just use megi’s kernel, but I understand their concerns.

    @poVoq @Shatur The PBP doesn’t include a modem (so no LTE antennas), has only 1 (cheap) camera, bigger display/form factor, no touchscreen, smaller eMMC, cheaper audio codec…

    Also, the PPP’s display is way better (and therefore costly) in both contrast and color-correctness to the OG PP one.

    Comparing the PPP & PBP prices based only on the fact they use the same SoC really doesn’t make any sense unless you look at *all* the differences, and even then, it’s dubious…

      Obviously I am comparing both the PP and the PBP with the PPP. The two cheaper devices show that it would have been perfectly possible to make a sub 300$ device that is a functional equivalent of the PPP.

      More colors on a tiny low resolution mobile screen is another one of these useless premium features they added to justify the massive price hike.
