Worth is relative. It won't be packed full of 2000$ worth of Android or Apple flagship hardware. But it will cost around 2000$ to deliver this specific product

- zepto 6y agoHow is the pine phone $200 with only slightly lower specs?
- seba_dos1 6y agoThe PinePhone isn't assembled in a US factory, for starters ($2000 refers only to the special "Librem 5 USA" edition with tightened supply chain).
- zepto 6y agoSure, but 10x is a lot.
- seba_dos1 6y agoOf course. USA assembly is pretty expensive though, it's a low volume product (so the cost of setting up additional factory won't get distributed across many devices) and I'm not aware of any competition there, so the final price is hardly surprising IMO. The regular version costs "just" 4 times the PinePhone price, but with Librem 5 you get not only more powerful hardware with more expensive components, but also warranty, continued software development and tech support.
