Librem 5 Dogwood Update 3


  Librem 5 Dogwood Update 3

Before we get into our Dogwood news, we also wanted to share that the
Librem 15 is back in stock and that the *$300 off sale* for Librem 14
pre-orders is still running!

The Librem 5 Dogwood batch has finished our manufacturing and is
finalizing testing and fulfillment all from Purism headquarters before
shipping to those who are part of this batch.

With this launch of Dogwood, we see user-facing software improvements.
One of the biggest visual differences is app thumbnails are displayed
when switching between apps.

The cellular network can now be configured directly from the top
drop-down menu.

On startup, you’ll be greeted with a new splash screen.

Dogwood has seen the most hardware changed of any batch. The CPU has
been flipped to the opposite side of the PCB (now facing the screen).
This has been instrumental to better heat dissipation as well as more
reliable charging.

The battery shipping with dogwood is 3600mAh, roughly 80% more battery
than previous batches. Combined with early kernel optimizations usage is
now measured in multiple hours, and with additional kernel work will
continue to see leaps forward.

A diffuser has been added between the screen and the indicator light.
This makes notifications easier to notice at extreme viewing angles and
overall better appearance.

The volume buttons have become a volume rocker increasing usability.

In previous versions, the headphone jack was recessed and not centered.
In Dogwood it’s now flush with the top of the phone and centered in the
frame.

Once we finish the verification process and ship out Dogwood, we can
focus on the delivery and production of the Evergreen batch
