Well, Qualcomm just fell off the map. I'll never knowingly use one of their products again.

- jraph 4y agoGood luck though. Even the PinePhone has a Qualcomm, and it is probably one of the most promising devices for privacy. (that said, I'm not sure this particular service is used, especially if you use a custom firmware which provides an open source replacement to many of the original firmware components. GPS does not work very well until the userspace itself sends an xtra A-GPS file to the modem)
- killabit 4y agoThe pine phone is absolute trash, if you want the ultimate in privacy peep the ObeliskOne. www.obeliskone.com
- jraph 4y agoWow, that's a lot of buzzwords and very flashy designs but very few details for a 3k$+ Android phone from 2 years ago running... on a Qualcomm chip. With no source code (the absolute bare minimum for privacy) in sight. No thanks. What's better about it than a regular Android phone with one of those privacy-oriented OS, privacy-wise? Also, two comments on HN, both about this phone? Do you have anything constructive to say about the PinePhone? "Absolute trash" does not really cut it.
