The only really limiting hardware I see here on the Pinephone is the eMMC speed which is hard to overcome with software.
Allwinner a64 1.5ghz software#
So I really don't think that the Allwinner A64 is so limiting that we should begin thinking beyond right now : I truly believe in optimized software that get the most out of what we already got. I had to let it go because of a dead battery.

Only limitiation (that even was not so limiting) was 1Gb of RAM and no more iOS updates. Guess what : it still worked really well and snappy. Just so you know, before buying my Pinephone Mobian Edition (that I use as a daily driver), I was using an iPhone 5c ( Apple A6 32 nm, dual core with 3-core PowerVR chip) that I bought some 8 years ago. Even the RAM limitation should not be one before a few years. The Pinephone can actually deliver enough for most of people use once we get the good hardware/software recipes. But recent hardware is really really really under-exploited in 90% of cases, and it tends to make developers lazy with sub-optimized softwares, hence most of the slowdown we see on old hardware. I insist on "almost", because at some point it matters. This is 6! years old hardware not even designed for mobile use, you most probably do not use laptop from that time anymore.Īll the more, you can't deny that when software will be optimized for the Allwinner A64, we will have *rock solid* base for an informed decision on hardware choice. No wonder poor power efficiency and performance. Then it will be easy to evaluate what kind of specs/price would be best for a new PP iteration.īut not much can be expected from Allwinner A64. I believe the wise thing to do before getting into these new hardware considerations is to wait and see what software can actually deliver with the current hardware.
