Unboxing the Librem 5 USA

Here is my father unboxing the Purism Librem 5 USA (https://shop.puri.sm/shop/librem-5-usa/) which was shipped on Feb 20, 2021. I was amused that my father kept calling it a "camera" because he is a camera nut, but I imagine that most people are less interested in its cameras and more fascinated in the fact that it is a phone that runs on standard Linux. I blogged about it and provide more photos of the phone here: https://amosbbatto.wordpress.com/2021... This is the first mobile phone that is manufactured in the United States, since the Motorola Moto X in 2014. Purism not only does the final assembly of the phone in Carlsbad, California, but it also does the assembly of the main PCB and USB PCB (i.e. places components on the bare boards) in the same location. Purism promises to also do the assembly of the M.2 card containing the Thales Cinterion PLS8 cellular modem in the same location, but this phone contains the BroadMobi BM818 modem, which is manufactured in China. This is a very unique phone, because the Librem 5 and Librem 5 USA contain 6 innovations not employed before in the mobile phone industry: First phone with easily-accessible hardware kill switches (3 switches for cellular model, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth and camera/microphone) First phone with replaceable cellular modem and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth (using standardized form factor and bus interfaces on two M.2 cards) First phone with a smartcard reader (for 3FF OpenPGP card) First phone running 100% free/open source software on main CPU cores (PureOS with Linux/Wayland/GTK/phosh). First convergence between mobile and desktop computing based on downsizing existing desktop applications (using the libhandy library), as opposed to using separate mobile and desktop software or upsizing mobile apps. First to offer lifetime software updates, designed to avoid planned obsolescence. According to my database of 1300 mobile phone innovations, there have only been 15 other mobile phones over the last 40 years that contained 6 or more innovations. See: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/commun... More interesting for me is the fact that the Librem 5 and Librem 5 USA are the first phones since the Golden Delicious GTA04 which are open hardware, meaning that Purism provides the schematics with a GPL 3.0 license. Due to their hardware kill switches, the Librem 5 and Librem 5 USA need to use 6 separate chips to provide the same functionality as the standard integrated system-on-a-chip, such as a Snapdragon or Exynos, found in most smartphones. These phones are very complex, containing a total 1267 components on the main PCB, USB PCB, RS9116 WiFi/BT M.2 card, and BM818 cellular modem M.2 card, whereas the standard smartphone with an integrated SoC has 400 to 600 components. See: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/commun... Another interesting feature of the Librem 5 and Librem 5 USA is the fact that they contain a new mobile Linux interface called Phosh (from "pho"ne "sh"ell) which was designed by Purism as a thin overlay on top of GTK/GNOME. The Phosh mobile environment is designed to use GNOME libraries and applications, but it contains a new compositor and shell and Purism is adding libhandy and libadwaita so that GNOME desktop applications can become adaptive to function on smaller mobile screens. I am very excited about these phones because they are designed to combat planned obsolescence. They contain the NXP i.MX 8M Quad processor. While the 4x 1.5GHz Cortex-A53 cores in this processor won't match the performance of recent mobile SoCs from Qualcomm and Mediatek, NXP promises to manufacture this chip until Jan. 2033 and NXP contributes to its mainline Linux driver. In addition, this phone uses only free/open source drivers which can be maintained by the community and Purism is working to get its hardware fully supported by mainline Linux. This means these phones should be supported for longer than any other phone on the market.
