>all metal case
>external antenna

Anodized aluminum? Even a 6XXX series aluminum would work fine.
Battery must be removable.

anything conductive

Just to act as a Faraday cage?

What options are there for fully open cpu's small enough for phones?

>Comes with F-Droid and Yalp Store out of the box

>nonbotnet OS
how would you handle this? this is way more important than
>muh camera is watching me

The idea is that even if the phone becomes compromised in some way, there's a hardware solution preventing some of the more egregious privacy violations.

>faraday caged
>external part interprets the modulated rf signal and displays it for you as text
>if you want to communicate you have to manually type in the signal into your phone and manually type in the phones response so you cant iss any of the phones communication

How does this make the phone more secure (Legitimately asking)?

>>all metal case
>>external antenna
REMOVABLE* antenna

full cutout from the external world when wished

Easily accessible when you remove the backplate (which would need to be removable anyway if we do detachable battery, which we need).

>faraday caged smartphone

I'll take "meme placebo shit that won't do anything to enhance privacy" for 500, Alex

Literally this

Interesting, but they still use Intel chips which are not fully open.

What if it were based on lowRISC or some other RISC-V compliant SoC?

What phone does the president of mericuhh use and how secure is it?

Apparently it's not so much a "smart" phone.

No internet connectivity. Requires specifically that all code is auditable.

removable mini SSD

There pretty much is no SoC for phones that aren't 100% open. Maybe RISC-V will bring it some day but so far not really.

>Smart phone
>Secure

Pick one.
Actually, no, go ahead and pick none because as soon as you connect to the cellular network you are exposed.

The networks themselves are fucked and would need to be addressed, but I think that'll happen at the same time as the Internet as a whole in North America.

Open source libertarian meshnet, when?

Are you retarded?

Let's try to stay civil, please. Could you explain to him why having it in a Faraday cage is beneficial from a security standpoint?

you manually go through all info any program sends into the intrawebs , if theres anything shady you dont pass it on .

That sounds like it'd get rather cumbersome and time consuming.

uwu someones saved my headpat gif

phone = botnet

I've seen at least a few people post it, so it has been spreading nicely. /r/ more hedpats, btw.

it's not really mine desu someone on /osg/ gave me it but i've used it on this board a few times and have seen it spread it's pretty cool. Also if you want more pats you know what to do

>hey everyone, I made that!
These are my least favorite kind of posts.

Then don't say "mine", because you don't have ownership of it. >:|

but I wanted attention

>still use Intel chips
No it's arm, like every other smartphone in existence.

Ah, my bad. I mixed it up with their tablet which uses an Intel core M5Y10c.

Still, Arm has similar issues to Intel.

it would be secure senpai

You would spend more time approving/denying shit than actually doing the task you needed your phone for.

but if you dont how could you know all the phones programs aint doing shady shit ? you just gona trust the people who wrote em ?.
what if the shady shit the phone's doing dosnt even show up because its programmed to be hidden ?

for a secure phone you either need to manually inspect all its communication or independently measure all its communication with a device you build completely so you can trust it (as in you mined the ore to make it , you and only you performed every step of the process).

and even then it may not be secure because technology to change your memory may exist and you may be unaware and there may be an exploit in your phone that someone erased from your memory and replaced with a memory of building a secure phone .

if you're not catching my drift a think connected to the internet or communicating via omnidirectional radio cant be secure in any way shape or form .

I didn't think I'd have to spell out that "secure" is always a relative term when it comes to technology, but whatever.

secure means no one can fuck your shit/steal your data .
