    Hard to say right now what will be the SoC in a hypothetical PinePhone2.

    Pine64 is working now with the Rockchip RK3566 (in their upcoming SBC Quartz64), and that one supports 8GB ram and has a significantly better MALI G-52 GPU. But overall it isn’t much faster than the A64 currently used in the PinePhone and because it is a different chip vendor it will likely require a completed redesign of the PinePhone motherboard.

    I think end of 2021 we will see a PineTab based on it (with an e-ink screen option), but for the PinePhone they might be waiting a bit longer until a really much better SoC is feasible (so 2022/2023 earliest).
