I wrote a blog article about right-wing privacy phones in the USA, where I mention the BraX3 with iodéOS as a better alternative for American customers. I thought people on this forum might enjoy my article:
Feedback is welcome.

I don’t have time to read the whole thing, but yeah, they are pretty bad. Here are my two cents, without being too political:
The Freedom and UP phones are objectively pretty trashy and shady. The Trump phone is only somewhat decent at best – at least it’s not made in China. That reskinned HTC U24 Pro isn’t the best bang-for-buck-wise and is purty much out of date.
And that is the take from my politically slightly right-leaning point of view.
However, when I glanced at the article, I noticed just a couple of issues from the get-go. I know this is your personal blog, but when writing for the general American public (not saying it was supposed to be; I’m just putting my thoughts out here), in my opinion, most would like to see a less biased, apolitical view of the concerns and objective Achilles’ heels mentioned. Going along with this, I like to see things the way they are: their raw, unfiltered form of these dumpster fires.
In addition, you’ve also mentioned these phones’ ties to people whom you don’t like. I mean, I get where you’re coming from, but I don’t want to consider this when buying my next privacy phone – unless said people wish me non-existent and do unethical business practices, like firing me simply because I agree with a certain politician. In my opinion, I just use what works best for me and support it if it aligns with my moral values.
TL;DR - I would recommend not looking at everything through a political lens.
If you don’t like what I said, just take it with a grain of salt. We can all agree to disagree.
