This comment is absolutely meaningless. You realize none of the models you mention have open sourced drivers, right? thanks to two or three companies that refuse to share their super secret (ha, it is all commodity) code to power the modem, camera, digitizer, SoC, etc.
All those devices will continue to only be supported for <4 years (in the very best case!) and then off to increase the "outdated devices" count or the landfill!
- petecox 9y agoThe model I'm using, Nexus 4, was released 5 years ago to the day. Via a community ROM it still receives monthly AOSP security patches, albeit on a prehistoric 3.4 kernel and vendor abandoned binary blobs. If I had a spare $600 I might be inclined to support the librem-5 efforts of running a mainstream kernel with lifetime updates.
