Meet BraX3. The most privacy-friendly smartphone. Open-sourced, easy to use, and fairly priced. | Check out 'BraX3: the most privacy-friendly smartphone!' on Indiegogo.
I have no enthusiasm about a CEO, I have posted this article simply as an alternative more of an smartphone that does not go with Google or Apple, allows the use of Linux and also allows you to fix it by yourself with standard spare parts. This is in any case preferable to a mobile stock controlled by Google or Apple, period. I bet that some negative votes are made by users of Brave with it’s nazi CEO, supported by fishy Crypto companies, the rest for sure use an Fairphone. Right?
Yeah that makes sense. And I don’t mean you personally. My commentary was to solidify that many have criticized Braxman but from my perspective we need voices like his to bring awareness to privacy issues caused by Big Tech. We need different options and information in order to make informed choices. So I don’t know why people would shit on someone offering information and alternatives.
There is a big difference between a product that is sold at a substantial premium and an actual scam. A scam would be someone selling some cheap Chinese phone rebranded as a privacy phone without any significant differences from a regular Google Android at $1000. This is clearly not that.
How is LineageOS without all the Google spyware not significantly different from a regular Google Android phone, of which you in the US at least cannot even unlock the bootloader of, let alone install an official Lineage OS port? Also, this is a $300 device, not a $1000 one. Just because you can buy a Pixel and, if you make sure you buy the correct one at least, can unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM if you have the skills and knowledge (and time) to do so, does not make this phone a “scam”.

Maybe some of them are, but I think most of the down votes are just from people who recognise this as an obvious scam

But that’s pretty much exactly what this is? Just some random unlockable phone with rebadged lineage on it…
