PureOS 10.3 UI and Camera
Most companies abandon hardware soon after launch, but we have a different approach with the Librem 5. With every upgrade to PureOS we push on the Librem 5, the more the device can do and the more efficient it gets.
PureOS 10.3 packs in a lot of new goodies. The User interface Phosh continues to grow up with Gnome; in PureOS 10.3 Phosh has a new dropdown.You also get a new menu on a long power button press. Easily power off, Lock or take a screenshot. Swipe up to dismiss.
Under the hood, WiFI hotspot now inhibits suspend. Emergency info settings got some love. Mobile Settings→Lockscreen→Emergency InfoApps now honor the feedback level for notifications. Mobile Settings→Feedback

Librem 5 Celebration Sale $200 off For a Limited Time
As Purism approaches shipping parity (estimated in early July) for the popular, revolutionary, Librem 5 phone, we wanted to extend a heartfelt thanks to all the supporters who understood the immense challenges with creating a non-android OS–PureOS–and the tens-of-millions it would take to compete against Google and Apple. With the continued support of those early adopters who have seen the Librem 5 go from a development kit, to early versions without battery enhancing kernel updates, to the latest PureOS 10.3 where all the phones shipped within the past 2.5 years get 20+ hours battery life, to the latest batches of Librem 5 phones that run PureOS 10.3 by default, it has been quite a harrowing journey to invent and innovate such a powerful freedom respecting secure phone that is the Librem 5 running PureOS 10.3.
Purism is proud to be able to offer a celebration sale on the Librem 5 phone running the latest PureOS for $200 off for a limited time with the public coupon code of “CelebrateLibrem5”. Ordering now with this coupon will get this deep discount applied and will be ready to ship to you in August, 2023.
The Librem 5 is the device that started the revolution of using the mainline Linux kernel and utilizing completely free software with the entire software stack released in the open. Purism is unrelenting in its dedication to civil liberties, free software, investing in software innovations, and pushing the industry forward. This sale is a way to publicly celebrate these immense accomplishments made with PureOS, the free software ecosystem, and of course the original hardware design that gets better with age, the Librem 5.
