Oh wait they released "Liberty Phone" - still low end(!), this time with absurdly high price.. You can get true linux phone 10x cheaper by buying something that supports PostmarketOS

Your post sounds like you're trying to spread FUD.

Librem says the Liberty phone is the same, it just costs more because it is assembled in the U.S. for people, companies, or governments that don't want it intercepted and modified by a bad actor.

This might justify the price of Liberty Phone, but doesn't invalidate my claim that these phones are low-end by todays standards.

Why no hardware upgrade after 7 years?
