Note: there are no Pine64 Pinecils sold on AliExpress. They are not made by Pine64. There are no authorized resellers on AliExpress. Some manfacturer has copied the Pine64 company name, trademark and Pinecone logo and is selling them through many store fronts. They use a different type of box, like a blue or red box and sell colors that Pine64 never made. They are all fake clones and do not go through the same QC as Pine64 and it is unclear what type of chips or poor quality cloned chips are used in them.
