Is UT in PinePhone same thing than in another phone?
#6
Hardware kill switches and compartmentalization pretty much make the pinephone the most private and secure device you can find. Anyone can hack a linux OS but the pinephone renders hacking nearly useless. The fact that even if a hacker, govt or bad actor got in through a firmware back door, theyd effectively be trapped in that one chip and be unable to get to other parts of the phone, also with the kill switches they could not get your camera, mic, location info or otherwise track, spy on, or identify you. All of that is still possible with another phone converted to linux. Physical hardware separation cannot be bypassed by software. Only pinephone and Librem 5 achieve this. But Librem isn't open source, so you have to take Purism's word for it & pay more.
