First Impressions of the FINAL LIBREM 5 HARDWARE (odysee.com)

Checkout @TheLinuxGamer's impressions (far from an extensive review however) on the "final" hardware of the Librem 5 - it's nice to have a video instead of a Purism forum post to read. Unsure if this is his own unit due from backing or if Purism sent him the device (he mentions it's a review device im the video so I assume the latter?) but nice to see either way.

Well, I don't want to sound like I'm victim-blaming, but I find it essential to research anything more significant than a pencil before purchase, not just premium (price-wise) phones.
In an ideal world you could trust marketing, but we don't live in that world, so even soviet monopoly marketing that didn't need to lie (or exist, because monopoly) did oversell it's products.
So I try to promote the idea of "lurk before you buy" any chance I get.
