>Keep in mind that components were chosen in order to eliminate the need for proprietary software. You can definitely find Android phones with more powerful hardware and lower price tags. But you won’t get the hardware kill-switches that physically disconnect the microphone, camera, and WiFi and cellular radios. And you won’t get the same emphasis on free and open source software.

No thanks, all privacy features aside people will still end up using the internet and 'social' media which defeats the total purpose of it. If you want a true privacy phone get a dumb phone

I'll probably wait for the second generation device

i dont think this product is targeting those "people", if you can call them that, either way, i hope the price goes down significantly after manufacturing/selling has started (assuming the molding and tooling for the case is the thing that probably cost most)

This is neat, a few years ago I'd be jumping with joy.
I'm curious what will come of this.
David Taylor
This has been the third delay if I'm not mistaken. It's not even certain this will see the light of day. Also not even a 1080p display, quad core SoC and 32 GB of internal storage - in the garbage it goes regardless of the price.

you guys seem really really scared of this phone
Carson Kelly
I don't use social media and already have a dumb phone. This is the type of smart phone that I would actually consider buying.
