Someone I know who seems to be in the know about things said that the Pinephone hardware is way more secure than the Librem 5. He seemed to be implying that the USA has hardware backdoors in some of the stuff used in the Librem 5. Pinephone could theoretically have Chinese hardware backdoors but I'd rather give control of my device to a country that CANNOT exert physical control over my body. Pinephone firmware has been audited pretty heavily though with no backdoors found.

One of the things that sounded cool about the pinephone is that the modem firmware was reverse engineered outside of the United States to make sure it was clean. The modem also runs its own copy of linux fully segmented from the phones main OS (also linux). It connects to the rest of the system through USB when needed.
