Hey everyone,
Just wanted to share a quick update for anyone interested in hardware-level privacy but hesitant to leave the mainstream Android ecosystem.
The Hiroh Phone—which features a physical hardware kill switch that completely disconnects the microphone and camera at the circuit level—is now officially offering a version that ships with stock Android 16.
I know a lot of people here prefer GrapheneOS over /e/OS because /e/OS isn’t always seen as robust on security. If you found the phone interesting but didn’t want to use /e/OS, you can now opt for standard Android 16 out of the box and still get the exact same benefits of the physical toggle switches. The Hiroh Phone — HIROH
When you flip the switch, a physical red indicator shows, and the electronic circuit to the mic and camera are completely severed—meaning no malware or OS-level exploit can force them back on.
