Hi,
okay, since it seems a larger battery would help, I've now asked Fatih to check back with the case company what can be done here.
I guess with double the thickness (would be about 3mm thicker), we could get double the capacity. Maybe for 1,5mm, we could get 150% of the capacity?
We might also be able to increase the width a bit by maybe moving the Stylus into a bit more into the edge and using a bit more of that empty space.
I know there's the UMTS antenna there, but we still might get a few mm - maybe that helps.
With the PCBs with all important parts on being sent to the case company, I'll ask them if they can find a way to somehow increase the battery compartment as well.
As we all agree that a pluggable module as SoC would be great, we should also try to find out what thickness we would need for that soon.
I'd say if it adds about 1 - 2mm in thickness, it would probably be worth it, as the lid will probably be thinner than with the Pandora.
What do you think?
And even if the module is not pluggable, maybe a reflow-one (similar to the Jorjin module) could be designed, with a very thin PCB.
It still would limit the 8-layer PCB to a very small module size.
What do you guys think?
