Software, OS support and hardware specs.

Overall it was a fun project which introduced me to the company Pine64, which also makes the Pinetime Watch which I wear every day for the last 3-4 years.

Phone just isn't there for daily usage. Horrible battery life, back then the OS worked but were wonky at best. Maybe things are better now but I wouldn't hold my breath

I tried using the pinebook as a daily driver and broke it by updating the os; worst $250 paperweight ever. Lol
