I have been watching on the sidelines while some friends considered them. IIUC the short version is:
1. you can't build a smartphone that's safe for paranoid people.
I think the same for ANY hardware these days..... The crazy 5 eyes are having their play against Huawei, but they've got the same deal with Intel and likely other areas. No hardware can be truly safe and secure for the most paranoid unless you make it yourself from raw materials and no one person could do that today. Cheers A.
