life Improved by 100%!

Blog by @purism:

"...the Librem 5 is getting better with age and it may well be the only to do so. That is because we don’t invest in . In the opposite, our wonderful dev team is never giving up on their effort to optimize the software. After each major update, the Librem 5 gets faster and lighter on it’s hardware resources."

Purism · Librem 5 Battery Life Improved by 100%! – PurismPurism makes premium phones, laptops, mini PCs and servers running free software on PureOS. Purism products respect people's privacy and freedom while protecting their security.

@janvlug @purism

Can confirm that battery life improvements are significant!
I don't claim that it will be good enough for everyone, but during #DebianReunionHH I had a pretty good time battery wise.

Even using the phones rather heavily I didn't worry much about how much charge was left.

I only had to use a powerbank once during the day trip. Admittedly I had two phones with me (for testing purposes) and you might consider that cheating :P

@janvlug @purism do they still have shipping issues or did it get better?

@fosserytech @purism The lead time (waiting time) for a regular is still 20 weeks according to the website. I see that they keep delivering phones and are getting closer to having handled all back orders.

Personally, I had to wait a long time, but it was worth the investment for sure.

@janvlug @purism Fijn. Nu nog wat betaalbaarder maken zodat het toegankelijk is voor een grotere groep. Niet als klaagzang overigens - privacyfocused telefoons mogen naar een veel groter publiek

@lize @purism Ja, zeker, de Librem 5 kost veel. Op het moment is het zo dat Purism maar één keer geld binnenkrijgt voor een verkochte telefoon, namelijk bij de verkoop. Er wordt niets verdient aan advertenties en het verkopen en verzamelen van gegevens van de gebruiker. De kost veel maar is niet overpriced denk ik. De ontwikkeling van de hard- en software moet ook worden betaald. Waarschijnlijk kun je binnenkort wel via de PureOS Software appstore doneren.

@janvlug Ja dat klopt zeker, ik geef je geen ongelijk. Ik denk wel dat ik op dit moment toch eerder dan de Volla Phone zou bekijken.
