@opal @purism It's not overpriced. You don't buy it for the specs. You pay for the work that goes into making a completely freedom-respecting device.

@opal @purism The hardware design of it is proprietary, but I don't care about that.

@bigness @purism in that case buy something cheaper, unlocked bootloader, flash aosp or lineage on it

@opal @purism Most of them would still require proprietary firmware for the wifi, and likely other components.
