But on the sabget RAM 3 gig, and offtopa - 2.
Offtop also has a version at 64GB ROM and 3 Giga RAM. Both CPUs are built on the ARM Cortex A-53, the truth of Sabza GPU Vivante GC7000Lite, it seems more powerful than Mali 400 on Pinephone. But offtopic price is much lower.

* ALLAHPARTY Well, there is still support from different OS. But neither the Pinephone nor Librem will take off. To a limited public.

* Sony Xperia_98 , Yeah, born dead.
Well, nothing to do anything.



Rep: (111)
* ALLAHPARTY Well, from the market all skeins. Yes, and the opens is not much developed in this regard. If free alternatives were cheaper and provided the same. Native software or android support app, then Lin could take off. Another Linux is in the masses, but many will scare the new, "complex" and terminal. Although the smarts will be on smarts

* Sony Xperia_98 These "shops" are a garbage from two and a half programs.

And as BE, Androyd - Linux, only cooked otherwise.



Rep: (111)
* ALLAHPARTY I know about it, but the support of android programs are actively saw, although so-so. Sailfish supports for example, there are also different projects in Ubuntu Touch trying to store support. There will be a software, you can talk about something, discuss further.

Regarding the fact that the phone without messengers - in the modern world will not survive - it is not about Librem 5. On board will be the client using Matrix protocol. At the moment, I unfolded your server, I connected whatsapp and Telegram to it, in addition to them, you can connect a huge cloud of other messengers, right up to IRC, Skype, Discord, and even iRessage (though it will be necessary to deploy MacOS to turn it out). But given the focus of the phone to freedom of software, many to limit the WhatsApp and Telegram - and then only for communication with relatives and friends who are not ready to exchange precious applephones, collecting and merging the cloud of information for a penny advertisers who cannot even normally process such a number of information, And anyway, it is not correctly targeted (hi ​​instagram, but this is already lyrics). In modern phones - the problem is not only in draining information to advertisers, but also that the user has no complete freedom regarding the useof hisDevices. In Librem 5 you canphysicallyDisable, certain functionality, when it may be necessary (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G / LTE, Camera, etc.), without disassembling the phone itself. I believe that this phone may not shoot, but it will definitely find their buyers

True said. For the work of developments, the price is good, but for iron and functionality - no. Yes, this is a free smartphone, with free features / hardware and hardware switch, but most of this is not necessary. And for such a price and Kharki, he will go into the hands of his audience no more.
