Headphone Jack edit
The picture under the image in the "Hardware section" had "A headphone jack, unusual in 2019" as its caption. I changed that since 75% of the new phone models in 2019 still had regular headphone jacks. 2001:16B8:24AA:3E00:B985:6504:9AF9:48F6 (talk) 18:29, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
I changed the text that said that the Librem 5 was vulnerable to acoustic cryptanalysis, because the provided links[1][2] described using the microphone jack even when there is no headset plugged in, but the hardware kill switch actually cuts the microphone circuit, so it would prevent the 3.5mm audio jack from transmitting any signal and being used for acoustic cryptanalysis. -- Amosbatto (talk) 14:29, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

Controversies about the first batches edit
Hi, a valuable addition could be to document the ongoing production issues and communication controversies.
A first source, hopefully more could be found:
https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Librem-Server
Hopefully by the time those price hikes kick in at the start of the year they'll have call functionality working (it sounds like they are almost there) but there still is the large hurdle of improving the battery life beyond the approximate one hour time they have right now as well as enabling other functionality like camera support.
Link to other phones edit
The pinephone is one of many already listed in "List of open-source mobile phones". The librem5 and pinephone are often compared with one another, but also with other phones, notably the fairphone. There doesn't seem to be a good reason for a direct pinephone link on the librem5 page, just like the librem5 isn't mentioned on the pinephone page. To remain neutral, the link to the List of open-source mobile phones should be enough. Moltonel3xCombo (talk) 18:49, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Moltonel3xCombo: "the librem5 isn't mentioned on the pinephone page" is false. PinePhone has a detailed comparison section discussing Librem 5 differences. If anything, that suggests a similar section should be added here. -- Yae4 (talk) 11:12, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Yae4: The PinePhone page had no "comparison" section when I checked. That section has apparently been edited in and out of the page, most recently by you. Adding a similar section here would just be duplicating the same info and still suffer from a 1 to 1 comparison when it should be many to many. IMHO the useful info from the PinePhone section should be moved to List_of_open-source_mobile_phones, which is just one link away from both the Librem5 and PinePhone pages.

- @Moltonel3xCombo: A basic comparison has existed since Pinephone became an article, November 2019[1], long before I touched it. It's an obvious comparison to be made between these two particular phones. If reliable sources, as well as primary sources, publish that particular comparison, then I feel it should be included. The List is very summary and is tagged with accuracy problem, so it's not so great right now. -- Yae4 (talk) 20:35, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
Organisational aspects of the Librem 5 development edit
This interview withi Zlatan Todoric (Archived 3 May 2020 at the Wayback Machine), a key developer at Purism for many years, would be good to integrate here for relevant material, e.g. he claimed (Oct 2019) that there will be proprietary blobs in the Librem 5 since otherwise it would take a decade to release the phone; and that the Purism blog announcements tend to distract from the real development issues; and that PinePhone is more of a community project.

Revert "Made in USA" edit edit
I do not really agree with the edit that added Made in USA to the info box. Only a small portion of the Librem 5 is of that specific type. What do you think? Jan Vlug (talk) 13:11, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
Does Librem5 have nonfree firmware in it? edit

Show something about firmware though I do not know if it is used in the Librem5 or if the makers of it just let users download it.
