Whatever that means.... So Manjaro is now listing their next upcoming PHOSH build as a Beta! Sure sounds better than Alpha! Hopefully it will all be there. That said, im not sure what more to expect. It seems like everything has worked at one point or another and the last thing is for everything to work at the same time, and hopefully faster! Having said that i cant say the indication I've got is that it will be a significant leap from where we already are, but hey if they're confident enough to call it Beta, that will make it a pinephone first! 
I still think the Arch alpha seems slightly ahead however. Cant wait for Lomiri to reach Beta or 1.0

IMHO it can only be called Beta if the daily automatic upgrades with very unstable code are changed to longer periods without any ugly breakdowns.

Is there official information somewhere that the next release Manjaro Phosh will be marked as beta?

On their news page, they update their previous posts with "progress towards next release" lomiri lists progress to alpha 2, plasma similarly progress to next alpha. On the phosh it specifically says "progress to Beta release"
I hope a sxmo build is next.

it seems like everything an Arch build on a phone should be lol

I love how excited you are about sxmo! I havent had a go at it yet, but i might be adding it to my to-do list
as a long time i3wm user, it's everything I hoped for in a Linux build.

the window manager is dwm, so it basically screams minimalist from the get go

sxmo boots and works extremely fast, but IMHO the user needs quite some learning...

yeah, that's the case with most minimalist desktop environments. sxmo is targetted towards people who use dwm, i3wm, openbox, etc already and are used to minimalist environments
