The HIROH phone is apparently launching with /e/OS exclusively or before there is an Android version (which is great :)) ♥️

  • 16GB RAM and 512GB of storage expandable up to 2TB, giving you room for everything that matters.
  • A 6.67-inch AMOLED display and a camera system pairs a 108MP Samsung sensor with a 32MP Sony front lens for crisp, striking detail in every shot.
  • A hardware kill switch; disconnected completely the microphone and cameras at the circuit level, leaving nothing open for intrusion.
  • A software-based switch, to easily turn off all your radio signals, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC.

/e/os can be installed on devices that can be purchased on the secondhand market for under $100. This is the opposite of "privacy only for the rich".
