Plasma Mobile is a Plasma variant for smartphones.[3][4][5] It is currently available for the Pinephone, and supported devices for postmarketOS such as the OnePlus 6.[6]

After Plasma Active sponsor Coherent Theory (under the Make·Play·Live brand)[7][8] had given up their ambitions to release a tablet computer,[9] Blue Systems emerged as new sponsor and shifted the focus of Plasma's handheld work towards smartphones.[10][11]

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.[3] Plasma Mobile runs on Wayland and it is compatible with Ubuntu Touch applications.[10] While not a priority, Android application support through Anbox could eventually come to the OS.[12][13]

PinePhone - KDE Community Edition was made available as pre-orders on 1 December 2020.[14][15]
