Hey some respect for the dead, son

Sure

Just because he is dead doesn't make any difference

dumb gorilla nigger

Subhuman trolls on /g/ did this

<:rooLick:471724891759181825>

Porco phone:
- BCM2835 / VC 4 with driver source
- runs on 2x replaceable 18650 batteries
- 1080p screen, no notch
- hardware lid in front of selfie camera

Would you buy the porco phone?

I just wrote an email to some random Chinese company that was selling noname phones on taobao, to ask them to roughly estimate the production cost of a small series. If I can get away with 50-60 $ / phone, it could become a super fun /g/ meme

I would buy it if it doesn't look like a Gameboy running Android

With the 18650 it probably would

Yeah that's why, wouldn't it be better to have pouch style removable batteries?

Also the BCM2835 is rather large compared to snapdragons, also comes without radio, so an additional chip would be needed

I really would like to push the standards meme as far as possible and use standard batteries

4 x AAA could also be an option

I see, there could be some potential in this product

You could in theory also use the empty space in the phone for a mini speaker cabinet

I thought of an M.2 slot

M.2 2242

<:alismirk:230784726615588865> now that would be a great meme

Would fit easily above the batteries

How do you even charge the phone?
>Change the battery

Yeah you don't need to charge it

And 3.7 v are enough, so you could first take one battery out and replace it, it would still run meanwhile

Then replace the second one and it wouldn't die

I'd buy one

Need a powerbank? Just have a bunch of batteries

Not a bad idea

Make it happen, you dirty wop

The BCM2835 is the only problem as there's no other FOSS chip

It really drains a lot of power

I could probably underclock it though because it's a huge overkill soc anyway

Phone would ship with dual boot Gentoo / Android

Because the 2835 actually has prebuilt Gentoo isos available

The porcophone
Absolutely pure aosp rom
Lasts for weeks on a single charge
Usable yet compact screen
Reception miles below the sea
Now that's a phone <:boomer:480046032546168863> 😎

I'll see what the factories answer

If I can produce for 50-60 $ / phone without batteries, I'll make a Kickstarter campaign and unironically build it

I'll bet you that a few manufacturers will send notched concepts to you

Wouldn't be bad for a raspberry pi like phone

It would be rpi Hardware + a screen and a radio

Could a 1.5inch/2.5inch hard drive fit?
