If you have pre-ordered the PinePhone Brave Heart edition or are waiting for it to go on general sale early next year then the following video is a must watch.

In it, Pine64’s Lukasz Erecinski shows off his PinePhone developer edition, showing us the fit, form and build quality, and giving us a glimpse at what lays behind the back case, including some very tantalising pogo pins…

Do keep in mind that Lukasz’s handset has a few minor differences to the “Brave Heart” model currently on sale (which itself will have a few minor differences to the mass market model sold next year).

But in just under 10 minutes we get get a VERY good look at how the handset looks (it’s size, thickness, camera placement, etc) and a much better feel for how it might, well, feel, in our own hands!

Lukasz does (quite rightly) shy away from demoing the software side of things. A number of mobile operating systems plan to support the PinePhone when launched but their relative software efforts remain ‘in development’.

Let me know what you think of the device in the comments!
