Different phone with different hardware? Totally false! The only thing that differentiates the two products (Librem 5 vs Librem 5 USA) is where (the physical location) they were manufactured. The components inside of the phone are the exact same and are sourced from the same global supply chains. The schematic and layout are the same. Everything is the same except location of manufacture. Purism even markets the Librem 5 USA as such. Some arguement can be made that says that certain components are more available in certain locations. But for $100.00, you can send hundreds of hard-to-get chips almost anywhere on the planet. If someone sent you a Librem 5 phone and a Librem 5 schematic, there would be no way to tell which version of the phone you have. So let’s dispell here and now, the myth that they are different, or use different hardware. That is totally false.
When Purism builds and sells any Librem 5 to someone who did not wait their turn in line with the rest of us, Purism has violated our trust by allowing others to cut in line by paying more for the same hardware after it was our early pre-order commitments that made the Librem 5 possible to begin with. The only thing worse than being cheated this way is when someone tries to lie about the truth of this, in attempts to cover up the fact that hundreds or thousands of us have been and are being cheated every time a Librem 5 USA is shipped out of the waiting line sequence that was established before there ever was a Librem 5 USA.
