Suggestion: better performing pinephone
#6
The Librem 5 is still a quad A53, although on a somewhat smaller process. The problem for both Purism and Pine64 is that the choice of processors that have sufficiently open drivers, bootloader and documentation is very limited. There's a further problem in that they're both low volume, too small for some suppliers even to talk to you. Some of this is improving - open graphics drivers for ARM have improved hugely in the last couple of years - but there's some way to go yet. I live in hope that Google may mandate upstream drivers only for Android, but I'm not holding my breath...
