Well you know, the thing is, I tried researching this. I reached out to this company on several occasions in the last two weeks. There is no phone number, so that wasn't an option. I emailed a few times, no response. I went on the chat feature of their website, which is useless. I am guessing there are people who are either much better at this, or have way more time on their hands than I do, who would get better results. I go with what I can find, and hope that's enough to be helpful to others. Now I found this article, which basically mirrors my concerns about the lack of transparency on basic details one asks when purchasing a new phone. I don't like the idea that someone may be trying to put one over on conservatives like me who just value their privacy. So, I hope this helps someone make a good choice. Who knows, we may come to find out it's a great phone and there's nothing nefarious behind it. But right now, I wouldn't bet $500 on that, and I hope if enough people also refuse, maybe that'll prompt the company to come forward with more information to help consumers be informed.
Well you not "tried" then.You did more ANON.YOU researched. All those things were concerns were already worthy to mention... You shouldn't fear that. You shouldn't fear it as there are people claiming to be anons who not do such things here !
All I am doing is mocking a bit those who are too lazy to do what you did (to kick their lazy ass and to force them to use those thing filling their space between ears).
I am not security expert by the way.But secure and private smartphone is already rather myth.There is really almost none operating system for phones being really open source and used by bigger group of users (except maybe Replicant OS). And even with it smartphone hardware and applications access to everything is still the issue. Brick for calling,computer for the rest.

It would also seem that English is not your 1st language.
In Soviet Russia, phone secures you
Because it isn't. Not all anons are Americans,however we support you and USA as land of the free.
Don't trust me ? Fine. You shouldn't. Do your own research anon.WWG1WGA.
:) I appreciate the support, and the challenge.
I admire your mission, but your method can come off as gatekeeping and snarky/judgemental which can be off-putting and stifle your mission.
Just some constructive feedback. Definitely all for people dogging deeper into things and not accept all at face value.
