I really want a Linux phone that isn't neutered, but I also don't want it to be $2k+ Lol. If the librem 5 is anything to go by (at $800 with pretty outdated specs) I'm bracing for 2k
I backed the Librem 5 and waited years. I was somewhat disappointed at the delivery but understood that Purism was sticking to specific requirements and advancement of full open source phones. I imagine there will be less of a gap in hardware as projects happen so hopefully there's a Linux native device for 1k with decent specs soon.
That's a fair point. I hope with more of these coming on the market there might end up being an open-source or just Linux phone standard so mobile OS's operate more akin to desktops than they do right now with all the tuning to specific hardware.
