Cool video and channel. Thanks for posting!

TLDW:

[It was a cool attempt that may have spurred mobile Linux devs in an important way. Removable battery + hardware switches for communication subsystems were genuinely innovative and in tune with community interests. Also it was bad. 8 year old CPU, software that was trying to do everything everywhere all at once, cameras that didn't work then technically did. Pine64 still exists and the Pinephone Pro is a thing (that the presenter hadn't tested).]

Presenter was generous when describing the end product. It seems to me like they want to like it but came to the same conclusion as most did -- it's definitely not a daily driver. That said, it doesn't have to be to remain a cool product.

Do give them a watch though if you have a chance. This is from a <1k subscriber channel and was well put together.

Basically they didn't even try to design good hardware.
