great work, there must be a wiki where this stuff goes (maybe libreplanet?)

here’s one review

> Armadillo Phone is the most secure phone
> Armadillo Phone is the most secure phone. Protect yourself against

> Cameras or microphones can be removed.

- this is a distribution of the google pixel 3a
- it is closed source
- it has very impressive features but a serious security mistake is
made in the specifications: it claims to prevent cold boot attacks by
detecting low temperatures. these attacks do not actually require low
temperatures, rather “cold boot” refers to cutting and reapplying
power.
armadillophone should be informed of this mistake, as well as that
power users will not trust their featureset without source code to
verify it against
