Yes, I've seen that. The most important features on a phone for me are a very good camera, a lot of internal storage, and a slot for an SD card, aside from an unlocked bootloader, which unfortunately I can't get from my present carrier. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

People who are highly knowledgeable about computers say that the hardware itself of the device is also a potential attack vector. 🤯🤓

Yes, sadly that is very true. Some chip makers put back doors on their CPUs, that can be accessed regardless of the OS. There are other components like that as well. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

The question is why they do that. 🤯

I have read articles about "fully open-source" hardware and software where every step of the production of the smartphone can be verified, though those phones aren't powerful enough for their price (since what is mostly paid for is the security of those devices). 🤓

They do it to give govenements access to people's devices, which is of course deeply unethical, but most big tech is like that unfortunately. Yes, I'd far prefer fully open-source hardware, but as you said, it tends to be less powerful. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

It's not only the hardware of those "fully open-source" devices that are quite less powerful, but the cosmetics (such as the color and edges) can also benefit from a lot of improvement. 🤔🤯🤓
