Outdated SoC, but probably good enough. Is Phosh actually usable now or is it still pretty janky? Also, gotta note that I hate how a lot of these Linux phone companies talk about having amazing security when they're actually talking about privacy. Security is definitely gonna be worse than Android. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] snoons@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (1 child) Security is definitely gonna be worse than Android.

Also the standard Linux solutions for e.g. sandboxing are just not as robust as what's provided by Android. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Auli@lemmy.ca 1 point 1 year ago My problem is they had this phone then released a Linux version and made it worse but just added a letter onto the name. I'll pass the screen is the thing used the .OST and they put in a worse one. permalink fedilink source parent [–] rikudou@lemmings.world 3 points 1 year ago Xperia 10 III is much better with SailfishOS, it you can get one second hand (it's officially supported). permalink fedilink source parent
