Aloha,
I think I stumbled on an old thread that got buried, so I'd like to open a new one asking for help. I would appreciate more detailed explanations than "it's privacy theater".
I am considering going with either Graphene OS or the Unpl*gged phone.
Here are my reasons. Please feel free to correct or clarify any. I welcome thoughtful dialogue ☺️
Unpl*g Pros:
1) The owner says he has the Israeli software engineer who helped design Pegsus on his staff. He says this experience allows his team to know how to counter Pegsus type threats more than other alternative OS engineers.
2) He says there is a physical kill switch that works more fully than software enabled switches that disable camera, mic etc. (And that the software switches are prone to hacks: can be turned back on if infected with Peg*sus).
Unpl*g cons: (pro Graphene)
1) Maybe the LibrtOS is weak in critical areas or similar to C@lyyxs level security (who knows?), despite the fact they say they know more about Peg*sus than maybe Graphene engineers do..
2) Maybe Unpl*gged doesn't get security updates as often as Pixel and Graphene do.
Anyway, just thought I'd see if there are any knowledgeable types here that can fully and fairly address the above considerations.
These are the top 2 pros and cons I can think of. If others have better top 2, please share.
Thank u
