So far, these are my personal observations of the PinePhone Keyboard. The name of that will change -- oops.


This Keyboard Case is a case for the PinePhone and PinePhone Pro. As the name implies, it adds a keyboard to the phones. It also has a 6000 mAh battery that essentially tripples¹ the phone's 3000 mAh battery life.

¹ See Charging Information for more information.
