The version of the librem 5 that is shipping now is the "evergreen" model. Their next model is going to be named "fir" which is supposed to have a 14nm CPU[1] as opposed to the 28nm CPU in the evergreen model. This should mean better battery life, so if that is something that interests you then you might want to wait on the librem 5. Personally, I don't want to wait that long so I'm getting evergreen.

CPU is probably not going to be the only change for Fir: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/community-wiki/-/wikis/Frequently-Asked-Questions#71-what-will-be-the-changes-in-the-fir-batch-and-should-i-wait-for-it https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/community-wiki/-/wikis/Freque....

  Not seeing anything new in that post. CPU is still the only confirmed change, and they go through the implications of the device using the i.MX 8M Plus.

    It's not even confirmed that it's going to use the i.MX 8M Plus. The initial Fir "announcement" assumed a quite different reality where all Evergreens would have been shipped long time ago.
