Thanks to the work of Samuel Holland, crust advanced power management is now capable of running the #PinePhone for 100hrs in idle without the modem (approximately 110mW). With modem on, we should get 40% battery run-time increase (to approx 24 hrs).
Coming to your distro of choice soon!

does the modem also have some low-power state which you don't yet know how to take advantage of, or is 350mW as low as it'll ever get?

This is amazing, what is the status on the Postmarket OS version of the Pinephone going up for pre-order? It's almost the middle of July.

When can I throw my money at you for that sweet Postmarket phone?

I would be very happy with 24 hours, thank you very much. 😀 I imagine that other things are going to continue to improve battery life even further, even things that aren't obviously power related, like hardware video acceleration, instead of using the CPU to brute force video playback.

Did you test it with 4-5 messengers installed and logged in? ;)
