The Project "Don't be evil" - Phase 2 of PINE64 Smartphone "PinePhone" Development Kit

Project Don't be evil is an actual smartphone developer kit for the PINE64 Smartphone dubbed "PinePhone". It is used in the early stages of development as a starting point for affiliated projects. PinePhone development has been broken down into three distinct phases:

  • First phase - Project Anakin
  • Second phase - purpose-built development kit code named "Don't be evil". It will be introduced at FOSDEM 2019
  • Latly, the third phase which is the PinePhone itself - scheduled to be released in Q3 2019 (pending on software development).
