- Buy a cheap android phone from a no-name Chinese OEM.
- Run a basic script to disable app installs, phone calls and some other features.
- Never update the OS. Don't do any security patching.
- Write your own encrypted messaging app with your own crypto. Don't get any external reviews or audits.
- Resell this as a Sky ECC phone with some marketing dollars labeling it as "secure" and "private".
What do you think is more hackable, this or a regular iPhone/Samsung Galaxy/Pixel?

A cheap phone from a no-name Chinese OEM, running weird software you've never heard of named 'Sky ECC' which doesn't auto-update or anything, and which the makers say is very secure. You've got to be fairly knowledgeable to appraise the two options correctly.
