When we talk about cameras these days…
“If you want a smartphone built outside China and the walled gardens of Google and Apple, Purism’s Librem 5 USA may be for you.”
IMO:
That whole section may lead one to believe L5 does what the others do, but without stalkers.
If one were to go one-on-one and compare, no offense to Puri, but L5 is not a 'smartphone - mildly clever maybe, but not smart - not yet anyway.
Ad: “Like a good wine, it will probably get better over time, not worse.”
“probably”? It’s not criticism - it’s a suggestion that Puri rethink that sentence.
IMO:
The expectation is that the camera operated the same as the other phones since all 3 are grouped as being ‘smartphones’. The Starting at $1,999 price strongly suggests everything is, as pointed out in the ad, comparable to the other 2. The only difference being debated is the operational/functional. Changing the settings all the time doesn’t make sense to me when today’s digital phone cameras require very little attention. Snap, send, done.
I’m eagerly awaiting the possible release of 'ware that will help automate it, which I think is the goal.
I sense the attitude towards the camera seems to be it is good enough - move on. I hope that one day it becomes the best on the block and more price competitive.
I got my first voice spam on the L5 the other day. Things are looking up ![]()
