[disclaimer: I work for Purism] Having both Librem 5 and PinePhone right in front of me, I'd say that it's RAM speed, not CPU that's underwhelming. Librem 5 feels much snappier to use, even for such tasks as apt-getting over ssh. They have pretty similar CPUs, but Librem 5's RAM is more than twice as fast as PinePhone's and it shows.
The Vivante GPU is also pretty capable: https://social.librem.one/@dos/104218666011152589 https://social.librem.one/@dos/104218666011152589
Notifications on the lockscreen are planned, just give it some time :)

That's true, and that's one of the reasons why Librem 5 doesn't utilize suspend yet - the idle times as seen in the article are just that: idle, not sleeping. We could have made integrating suspend in ATF our top priority, but there's still a lot of groundwork needed before it will actually make enough sense. There's plenty of other power management work to focus on first.
- jchw 6y agoAhh, that does look very impressive. Well, then I certainly look forward to that. The current price point for the Librem 5 (showing up as $750 USD for me now) is a bit more than I’m willing to drop for it though, so I guess I’ll have to really think about this.
