It has a Quectel EG-25G according to the specs, which is even a Verizon approved module.
Librem 5 didn't go with a smartphone SoC either. My presumption is that you can't get as open a platform as they wanted to go with the traditional ones?
- kop316 7y agoMy assumption is this creates a boundary in which the phone manufacturers can physically sever, as both have physical hardware switches for camera, Wifi/Bluetooth, Cell, Mic. Additionally, I have seen the SoCs with integrated modems require proprietary blobs in order to even boot. I am getting a "Birch" Librem 5 and I just ordered a Pinephone, so I am curious to see how they compare to my Google Pixel 3a. I really hope one or both can be a daily driver.
