Murena has started taking pre-orders for the Hiroh privacy phone. The privacy-first device has a physical hardware kill switch for the camera and microphone, and comes with an AMOLED display and a 108 MP camera. It runs /e/OS, a customized version of Android stripped of data-collecting code.
1000 euros when you can install GrapheneOS on a cheap refurbished phone. Good luck I guess.
Glass back
Fuck that
Kinky
The only thing preventing me from looking into this further is it's yet another tall-skinny phone. I don't know which manufacturer popularized that ridiculous aspect ratio, but I hate them and everyone who followed suit.
I think they all started doing it (2:1 aspect ratio) around 2017
Sounds about right. I held onto my 16:9 OnePlus 3 until the battery completely gave out in 2023 or so. It was the perfect size, and I hated the 2:1 ones that came after. Tried a OP Nord N200 for about a week but returned it.
Daily driving the Minimal Phone now. It's not the highest resolution by any stretch of the imagination, but it's 4:3 and makes current phones look even skinnier than when I was used to 16:9.
Nice to see consumer grade privacy focused phones popping up. Makes me think a widely available open source private out of the box phone at an affordable price isnt too far away.
if only there would be a way to install a reskinned microg los on a phone for cheaper
