Citing cnbeta, Pine64's newly released PinePhone Pro Discovery Edition is a very different proposition, it runs Linux instead of Android or iOS. It will run the Manjaro distribution, but is expected to be compatible with other Linux distributions such as PureOS, Ubuntu Touch, LuneOS, Sailfish OS, and more.

The PinePhone Pro Brain is a custom version of the Rockchip RK3399 System-on-Chip that was developed specifically for the device. The platform features two A72 and four A53 CPU cores and a Mali T860 quad-core GPU, paired with 4GB of LPDDR4 memory and 128GB of eMMC storage, which can be scaled via microSD.
At present, there are few systems developed based on the Linux kernel, especially in the domestic market, but in any case, in addition to Android and IOS, as well as domestic Hongmeng systems, there are other mobile phone systems entering the market should indeed be a good thing. This satisfies the ecological diversity of mobile phone systems.
