Album Pinephone Hardware Keyboard

I’ve received my Pinephone Keyboard Case today and after using it a little, here is a little photo session to see what it looks like.

A more detailed review will come later on the blog after using it a little.

Fun fact : You may have noticed the battery is now at 100%. I haven’t recharged the Pinephone during the photo session, the OS froze and I’ve rebooted it. Then, the battery gained 1%.

I suppose is just a bug in the battery usage calculation.

Hey, it's rendering well on it !
