  • The PinePhone (Pro) has a standy mode which runs 12 hrs, some claim 24 hrs.
  • At full load, the Pinephone runs 1 hour, whatever you do.
  • There is a 6000 mAh power bank built into the PinePhone keyboard. With this additional battery, the Pinephone runs a view hours.

Small form factor single board computers

  • Battery life with a 10 ‘000 mAh power bank and a small form factor single board computers in idle mode is very long (without any peripherals attached), as our preliminary tests with such a device have shown:
  • The developer of the off road mini PC mentioned in one of his reviews, that battery life of this device he has built is basically forewer. The device he as built is large and cannot be compared to the PinePhone.
  • Is it not easier to use an Android phone and use a second small form factor single board computer for your computing instead of a Linux phone considering these battery questions?
  • There are only view device available we can by in a shop with case and display,, but there are a lot of accessoires available like power banks in all sizes, TFT displays and casesto build a device for our own special application by yourself.
