alt Hacker NewsYou know what would be good for security:
Having physical disconnect switches (Bluetooth/Wifi, Modem, Power, Microphone/Speaker), and integrated lens cover like Lenovo laptops (at least for the front camera whereas a case can cover the rear cameras).
On a side-note:
Triple active SIM would be amazing, but one can dream. I would love to have a phone that has an active AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon SIM at the same time.

Also a disconnect switch for the telco signal. Yet in my experience, even when turned off, a phone may send out a signal periodically anyway for tracking / triangulation purposes.
However to avoid that, removal of the battery is required. A disconnect switch for power would do the same?
I think moving to micro-PCs is the answer, and then having an add-on to get a telco-signal. Why trust Motorola? Start at grass roots where possible. Everything needs to be open-source and based on open standards. No trojans, telemetry or remote overrides.
Maybe the product is an adapter case for a Pi that adds a screen, battery, antenna and whatever else is required to make it a smartphone alternative?
Also, looking forward to Mecha Comet.
Just get a SIM from another country and use roam like at home. I can use any network here as though it's my home network.
The provider isn't required to support this (they can give me 2 weeks' notice any time) but I use very little of my subscription (the smallest one they have) so I assume they're happy with the deal and don't have to pay the roaming carriers much

If you are not aware, US Mobile offers a Super Carrier package that one account can use all three. https://www.usmobile.com/networks
I don't use them, only read about it on r/nocontract.

You can fit several esims on one of these adapters AIUI.
Google Fi will auto-switch between AT&T and T-Mobile but not Verizon, AFAIK.
That's just security theater. If you can't trust the very CPU/OS that it only uses the camera/microphone when the notification is on, then what are you even doing with that device?
Removable battery
They are not a major OEM, but the Hiroh phone is going to offer hardware cutoff switches and and a de-googled OS: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Murena-taking-pre-orders-for-t...
