As far as I can tell, this looks like the same hardware theyve sold before for the earlier community edition phones.

Im guessing that calling it "BETA" signifies an increased confidence in it actually being usable, due to recent software improvements in the Linux mobile community?

While thats great in itself, Im looking forward to them moving to a beefier SOC.

Yes, it was in the march community update [0], they feel the software is now beta quality: 'The upcoming production-run, as well as the next two or three following it, will be referred to as the Beta Edition. The term “Beta” indicates the present software status'
