Librem 5 mass production model now shipping |
 |
Kyle Rankin has announced that Purism is now shipping the mass production version of their Librem 5 phone. The mobile device is designed to be open and ships with the project's GNU/Linux distribution pre-installed. The phone is privacy-focused and ships with a number of hardware switches for disabling the cellular modem, Bluetooth, and camera. "Purism, a Social Purpose Company (SPC) focusing on security and privacy with its hardware and software, has begun shipping its mass-produced Librem 5 phone to customers. The Librem 5 is a one-of-a-kind general-purpose computer in a phone form-factor that Purism has designed and built from scratch following a successful crowdfunding campaign that raised over $2.2 million. Both the hardware and software design is focused on respecting the end user’s freedom and giving them control over their privacy and security. The Librem 5 doesn't run Android nor iOS but instead runs the same PureOS operating system as Purism’s laptops and mini PC." Further details can be found in the announcement. Additional information and purchase options for the Librem 5 and other Purism devices can be found on the organization's Products page. |
