>paying 600$+ for a phone that you'll replace in a year
yea no.

>>61291163
UnaOS is even more secure, you know. That said, I use iPhone and spent the time getting all the privacy settings right.

>not understanding the concept of opensource

>>61291751
Android hasn't been open sauce for a while now.

>>61291768
Source?

There's no way in hell I'm buying a phone with a built in remote kill switch that only the manufacturer has. I'm 1000x safer with something like Lineage OS which is community made and puts an emphasis on openness. Fuck yourself, shill.

This. Anything with Jewgle shitware installed by default is automatically unsafe.

It’s the least secure phone on Nougat

Because it's closed sourced proprietary garbage and I use CopperheadOS instead.

>>61293254

how do you feel about the vendor blobs and the baseband firmware?

>>61291768
gee I wonder how I can build AOSP from source. Must be some other Android.

>>61293287
Until the Pyra comes out this is the best we have (that's not outdated and unsecure like Replicant). This is not a binary choice. The fewer binary blobs, the better.

>>61293325

that's a handheld, not a phone, right? is there an equivalent phone?

>>61293491
It has a 4G modem with voice capability. And no, there is nothing like that.

>>61291702
Why's that?

>>61291163
because a regular rooted android is good enough for me.

Sean Penn captured Chapo. He's a CIA agent.
