I think it's the LoRa version for $300 that is unique.

If you want a linux PC in your pocket, you can just install Debian on many Android phones.

I assume you mean via chroot on Android? I would argue that that is still inferior because it's using the Android kernel (which in many cases isn't going to get things like security patches) where this claims to ship with mainline support.
