Status of the Librem 5

ridiculous battery autonomy. I for instance intended to use it as my only phone, but I guess I won’t even be able to do that.

No worries. Standby time will increase significantly:

We’ve been prioritizing run-time power management first as we’d rather the phone last a long time when you are actually using it. The Librem 5 doesn’t yet implement suspend at all (which is how other mobile devices get large standby times). So you can think of its idle run time like an idle laptop with a blank screen, but not suspended. Suspend is on the roadmap though and we will implement suspend at some point once we are done with our run-time optimizations.
