Damn, somehow SHiFT phones have been flying completely under my radar. The SHiFT 6mq looks amazing if it'd be feasible to get pmOS running on it. A quick search yield a lot of results, all in German.

Do you think it's realistic to expect the power situation to be(come) better than it is on the PPP today?

I think it already is better than the PPP. Also the SDM845 is very very fast and a lot more power efficient compared to the current pine64 offerings.

A few postmarketOS developers are working on improving the support for the SHIFT hardware and it seems to be going great.

See [1]. You can use Firefox Translations to translate the website locally.

It goes for 655 EUR and has AMOLED, a feature I miss with my FP4. Both are popular smartphones in Germany but Fairphone is more internationally oriented. If you can wait a year you might wanna check the successor Shiftmu [2]

What makes the SDM845 more power efficient than the SoC in PPP (RK3399s?)?

I can navigate and parse the webshop and website, but thanks.

Was more curious about reviews and user experiences.

I imagine the 10 nm process (compared to the 28nm process of the RK3399s) probably is the biggest efficiency advantage of the SD8M45.
