    This seems like a normal cheap android phone with a bootloader-unlocked operating system and some pre-installed ad-block and rethinkDNS’ish Apps imstalled?

    And no offence, but the advertising video itself is more scamy then the wedding-dress shop around the corner that is always closed and dusty, but still paying a horrendous amount of rent each month…

      So do you think the wedding dress shop is laundering money for a drug cartel?

      Also, is rethinkDNS an alternative DNS which protects privacy?

    I would consider anything other than GrapheneOS a scam or even a honeypot at this point. Braxman is a complete utter joke, this crap is no different than that MAGA guy selling his freedom phone or whatever it was called.

      I use GrapheneOS because it works better for me, but considering their personnel and how they’re operating, I still would also trust Calyx. Was clearly the best choice for my fairphone back then.

    Does it run lineage? Any other FOSS, third party OS? No? Hard pass.

      It does, in it’s early stage eg. Ubuntu Touch, but I think there isn’t any problem to run other Distros too, at least Android itself is Linux (stock Android is only bad because it’s contamined with Google APIs) and Linage OS is an Android fork. The OS isn’t a problem, but the question is the compatibility of the needed apps, eg, in profesional ambit, medical apps or other official apps, all of these normally only for Android or iOS.
