The PinePhone Pro is a smartphone developed by Hong Kong–based computer manufacturer Pine64. The phone is the successor to the PinePhone released in 2020. The default operating system is Sailfish OS[2] (previously Manjaro ARM, with Plasma Mobile as the user interface).[3] The device is a developer platform with open hardware specifications but with unfinished software. The target group of the device is free and open-source software developers who will develop the software.[4][5] The device was first shipped to developers in December 2021, and in February 2022 devices were made available to consumers.[6] The PinePhone Pro was officially discontinued in August 2025, as it didn’t sell well enough to keep production going.[7]
Hardware
[edit | edit source]The device is built on the Rockchip RK3399S system on a chip, which is a custom version of the stock RK3399, uniquely designed for the device.[3] The processing power roughly compares to mid-range phones from 2016. The device has 4 GB of LPDDR4 ram, a 6-inch display, 13 MP Sony IMX258 as the main camera, 8 MP Omnivision OV8858 as front camera and has a user-replaceable 3000 mAh Samsung J7-series battery. [8]
The phone has hardware kill switches for shutting down network connections, microphone, speaker, and cameras.[8] The device has pogo pins for attachable backs compatible with the original PinePhone.[8]
Software
[edit | edit source]The device ships with Sailfish OS (previously Manjaro ARM, with Plasma Mobile as the user interface), though users are free to switch to other operating systems.[3][9]
U-Boot is used as the default boot loader and it supports booting from an SD card. The bootloader can be replaced, as there are alternatives, such as Tow-boot.[10] The main image sensor driver has been added to the mainline kernel by Sony.[11] Modem firmware of the Quectel EG25-G is based on a proprietary Android userspace, though an unofficial open-source version exists (actually mostly open-source: the custom firmware replaces most proprietary components, except for baseband firmware and the TrustZone kernel, which is signed by Qualcomm).[12]
In the middle of 2022, the software stack was under development, resulting in the hardware not supporting the software.[13][14] The first images from the camera were taken in May 2022.[11] Most widely-supported hardware is in a heavily patched downstream kernel called Megi kernel.[15] There is alternative operating systems focusing on mainline Linux kernel support, such as PostmarketOS.[16]
