I’m wondering which is more free (as in freedom) so I can make the right choice. I’ve also heard people say the regular PinePhone is better than the Pro version. I am planning on using it as a daily driver. I understand it’s not perfect yet, but I’m dedicated to make it work, I don’t do much with my phone. I also just want to help support Linux-based phones and would like to see it become more popular in the future! I’m planning on dropping my Google Pixel w/ GrapheneOS for this.

As an owner of both a pinephone and a pinebook pro I would say don’t with the phone unless you’re really prepared to completely upturn everything you do with a phone. It’s really not at a place where it’s a simple consumer-grade device to be used in place of your current smartphone. My pine now gets used as a part of my home automation setup and it works well for that. The pinebook, however, is absolutely magnificent and I take it with me anytime I need a device I’m not so worried about losing and that crucially CAN CHARGE OFF A PORTABLE BATTERY OMG!
