Plasma Mobile itself seems to progress very slowly though. And UI is way behind Sailfish OS in usability. I.e. it still needs something like gesture navigation and less artifacts from the desktop design. Without major resources behind it, it won't become more competitive.
That's why it's quite bad that Pursim didn't get behind it. Pooling resources could help everyone, and Plasma / Qt is the best FOSS option we have in the long term.
Also, something like Servo based browser is missing. Mozilla are too busy with Android to care about engine embedding for other cases (IPC embedlite died). browser.html isn't really very usable.
If Necuno can bring Plasma Mobile in shape - it would be awesome.Last edited by shmerl; 29 November 2018, 01:19 PM.

How about, a 6.2" 18:9 display 2160x1080 display, 4GB Of RAM, lets put in 64GB of eMMC, i.MX8 6-core, and also lets have Bluetooth, and LTE(i.MX8 has 2 PCIe lanes, it would be easy to put in a Telit LM940), lastly there is no excuse to not have Type-C in 2018...
Do all of that, have a starting price lower than $400, and it will do well(otherwise, I can just buy any old mid-range Android, that will be 10 times more functional for the same price)

Most of the stuff you mention is horribly expensive if you don't have the scales of Samsung or Huawei or other large manufacturers.
