Is PLASMA as good on MOBILE as on the desktop? - KDE Plasma Mobile review (odysee.com)

With the PinePhone beta version being in-stock, this video takes a quick overview for those who are on the fence or just waiting for that shipment email.

I like the uploaders style, and apparently share a lot of stuff about Plasma Mobile looking back at my past posts here.

Looks like Plasma Mobile is starting to catch up with Ubuntu Touch / Lomiri, although I personally don't think it is a very good idea to copy Android so much, as gesture base inputs like on Lomiri or SailfishOS are much superior.

I didnt mind Lomiri or Ubuntu Touch, havent tried Plasma Mobile yet. I think for users coming from Android it's a solid choice, I normally don't like KDE but think it works well here.

I do like Sailfish quite a bit, but havent settled on which OS I'd like to use more. My new device is on order, so I'll see soon enough I suppose.

Very subjective statement

Use it a bit and you will never want to go back :face with tongue:

I used the Jolla Phone with SailfishOS for about 4 years, and although I liked the experience, I honestly don't miss it. I personally am a fan of Plasma Mobile, especially because it copies the UI of Android a bit. It's a good UI (of course, again subjective).
