Does anyone have any info on this? I didn't see anything on the forum. I'm wondering how it compares with GOS. I see it's running on Android.
Unplugged Phone
The reason it's not widely mentioned here or elsewhere is that it relies heavily on marketing theatrics and buzzwords, resembling the typical 'privacy phone' scam. Moreover, their single page bullet point summary of the audit report doesn't hold much significance.
Good to know, thank you! I'm very loyal to GOS but wanted to know. It seems highly suspect given the background of the people behind it.
Nearly all privacy and security products are scams, with few exceptions. That's how the industry works.
Many open source projects are misleading users with false privacy and security claims too. It's not limited to proprietary products.
Yeah, nothing inspires more confidence than a "proprietary privacy OS" combined with an antivirus for a phone, lol.

All of the stuff here plus the fact that the CTO of Prince's company was an exec in the org that created Pegasus software. Hard f-ing pass, thank you.
But it would be cool to have a GrapheneOS with a switch for battery disconnect.
epic_perlman But it would be cool to have a GrapheneOS with a switch for battery disconnect.
The current dependency on Pixels not withstanding I think the GrapheneOS project wants to cover other bases before embarking on hardware switches to disable certain features as a means of attack-surface reduction.
GOS is largely constrained by the available hardware and I don't think any of the phone mfgs have an interest in a hardware battery disconnect. I get it. But location metadata is arguably the most valuable bit of remaining metadata available for hostile intel collectors. I have that both first-hand and via lots of OSINT.
Some day perhaps.
