Plasma Mobile is a Plasma variant for smartphones.[2][3][4] It is currently available for the Pinephone, and supported devices for postmarketOS such as the OnePlus 6.[5]
After Plasma Active sponsor Coherent Theory (under the Make·Play·Live brand)[6][7] had given up their ambitions to release a tablet computer,[8] Blue Systems emerged as new sponsor and shifted the focus of Plasma's handheld work towards smartphones.[9][10]
The official announcement of the new form-factor interface was on 25 July 2015 at Akademy, accompanied by a working prototype running on a Nexus 5.[2] Plasma Mobile runs on Wayland and it is compatible with Ubuntu Touch applications.[9] While not a priority, Android application support through Anbox could eventually come to the OS.[11][12]
PinePhone - KDE Community Edition was made available as pre-orders on 1 December 2020.[13][14]
