This sounds you did have a Braveheart edition and have given it away since.

I got started with the UBports Edition PinePhone in June and I think it's amazing how much the software has improved since. I have quite a backlog of new apps I need to add to https://linmobapps,frama.io, and overall it has gotten more stable and smoother as more and more is being upstreamed and hardware enablement happens.

BTW: I am writing this on my PinePhone.

UBports is arguably obsolete, it is based on 2014-era Ubuntu-specific code that even Ubuntu moved away from and is now bitrotting. Mobian has a more promising software stack, but I agree with the OP that the PinePhone is painfully slow, and it doesn't matter which edition you have, because they all have the same underpowered A64 CPU.

I didn't give it away, it's functional.

As for UBPorts, it stoppped updating! It just fails to update. It also insists I'm on a captive portal when I'm on my home wifi.
