For 800 bucks i expect much better specs. This is not good enough.
It looks great!
I noticed there’s no Privacy Policy or Imprint page. I’m not familiar with this company or organization, so I’m a bit hesitant to trust them just yet.
Purism repeatedly delayed their phone for years, charged exorbitant amounts for it compared to their competitors, and then changed their refund policy to fuck over their customers who had been waiting practically forever at that point. The Librem 5 is a scam, and it has embarrassingly bad specs. We’re talking a few hours of battery life and constant dropped calls, a 720p IPS display, no waterproofing, and computing power (i.MX8M CPU, 3 GB of RAM, 32 GB of eMMC,
802.11nokay so the order page says 802.11ax but another page says 802.11n, and a 8/13 MP front/back camera (they apparently don’t know the abbreviation for megapixel is ‘MP’, not ‘Mpx’, which is kind of embarrassing)) comparable to a pre-2015 $500 smartphone sold in 2025 at a starting price of $800 (or $2000 for the USA edition).
It’s interesting to see that Purism is also suffering from standby drain.
