I added a link to the USB bug, but also linked to the YouTube video with HDMI alt mode working in a dev version of the PinePhone, and added text to say that the Librem 5 still has kernel work to get video out working.

Since the A64 doesn't support DisplayPort, can anyone explain to me how the PinePhone is getting that to work? I assume that chips were added for this, but it wasn't clear to me which chip does the conversion to DisplayPort.

> Also, I think you should mention in your post that it is not just specs that are important when you choose what to buy. Here is a good text about possible other reasons (taken from Youtube comments; hard to find a direct link):

I added a "Reasons to buy" section to the table to address these issues, which is going to get a lot of criticism, but I also set this as a wiki so people can edit it if they think it is unfair.
