[image] Douwe: Also, I can’t imagine it would be much more then sharing information about manufacturing and value-chain related topics FP could run PureOS on it’s phone, at some point in time when it’s developed… Maybe the FP-organization can help with development of the OS. I’m well aware t…

Not gonna happen. PureOS is just that, pure in the meaning of libre software . The Fairphone 2 relies heavily on BLOBs (i.e. non-free software pieces that make hardware work, like camera, wifi, radio, and so on). Purism make devices that are built from the ground up for freedom. Not the case of Fair…

[image] Roboe: Purism make devices that are built from the ground up for freedom. Not the case of Fairphone Maybe not the case with FP2, but why not with FP3 or FP4? I know it’s hard to even build a fair phone without the rest of what Librem 5 is about, but I don’t think it’s wrong to think …

I recommend you to read @Douwe reply above: [image] Purism unveils plans to build Librem 5, the world's first open smartphone ecosystem The Industry I really hope that Librem5 will come a long way and succeed in the end. But that said; there is a lot of hurdles to be taken…

very well written @Roboe ! You have summarized and answered many misunderstandings in only a few words - it almost should be used in the welcome to the forum post :grinning:

An update. This is a Librem 5 hardware report, explaining different things. Quite interesting: https://puri.sm/posts/librem5-2018-09-hardware-report/

Specs have been published: 5.7" IPS TFT screen @ 720x1440 i.MX8M Quad-core up to 1.5GHz 3GB RAM 32GB eMMC internal storage + microSD expansion 802.11abgn 2.4GHz / 5GHz + Bluetooth 4 Gemalto PLS8 3G/4G modem with one SIM Teseo LIF3 GNSS GPS 8MP front camera 13MP rear camera USB Type-C port User-rep…

My take is, it is a pretty cool phone. Bit expensive, but a unique device given the specs plus the killswitches and the fact it is fully powered by FOSS Linux. Which is a dream come true. 3.5 mAh user replacable hardware. Cameras are probably OKish, USB-C 3 + PD is nice, 3.5 mm still remaining is n…

Waiting for it… :star_struck: anbox is already on the Debian repos. Although you need to get the Android image from anywhere else (that’s the reason why it’s on contrib and not on main) and there’s no official arm64 build yet, I tested it on my laptop and looks quite promising as an AOSP-compatibil…

[image] JeroenH: 3.5 mAh I guess just a typo…should be 3,5Ah or 3500mAh… No full HD display…not of any interest for me after owning my FP2. Is this single-SIM…boring… Although not so important, almost equal camera specs - five years after FP2?? Doesn’t look close to a replacement for my F…
