      let’s hope that proper free software will win over tech monopolies in the future. Then I can finally sleep well while owning a smartphone that has all kind of “magic” features

    This sucks.

    Already microphones that always listen. This was the next “logical” leap for this dark path.

          Even if I love the ideas and the librem phone 5. It’s just way to expensive. I mean, if it was a 100/150€ phone I will bought it instantly. Sadly I do not have the money

            Pinephones are cheaper and also have kill switches. Another option is to get a old Google Pixel and isntall GrapheneOS on it.

    Even worse, it probably eats up a significant amount of battery

      I don’t want to think about it… And now that all phones have ultra rapid charge I can see batterys just dying as if were iPhones.
