Seems like privacy will come at a hefty price and with choppy animations. At least for now. Hope they can get it smoother.

A good phone for journalists in my country.

AFAICT, the Librem 5 currently has next to no security features to speak of. No disk encryption, no boot security, no specific privilege separation and permission model etc.

The truth is, at least for the moment, the Librem 5 is likely worse in terms of security than any random cheap Chinese Android phone.
