Big YouTube channel "ShortCircuit" have published a video on the #PinePhone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCKMxzz9cjs
Yup! According to them, PinePhone wins over the Librem 5. PinePhone is smaller, lighter, easier to handle, has more control over hardware on/off switches, and better mobile OSes (most run smoother, cleaner, and faster). Only critisism by them was that the OS was unoperable upon recipt, which was easily fixable. And obviously, the PinePhone is designed and meant for linux enthusiasts. And worth the cost compared to the Librem 5's almost $800 price tag.
It was wonderful seeing their review as I am currently waiting for my PinePhone in the US. So excited! Can't wait!

@wildeagle5 It's true that he says "better than the Librem 5" in the end of the video, but it's not clear to me why he says that. Note that for the most part of this video he is using the Phosh user interface, developed by Purism, which runs significantly faster on the Librem 5 than on the PinePhone. I guess he thinks it is fun to go out and say that the cheap alternative is better, maybe that gives him more likes and clicks.
