Supposedly, he sells out of his phones but I haven’t seen any review or unboxing videos for the Brax 3. I know that you can ask for iodeOS or Ubuntu touch.

I’ve watched few of his videos and they seem OK, but I would never trust a phone like that. I would suggest buy a pixel and flash Graphene OS yourself. It is best for security and privacy.

And as far as Ubuntu touch or any other Linux phone for that. They are currently so bad at security that I wouldn’t daily drive them. If you want to play with them or contribute to them then that’s OK but don’t daily drive them.

He doesn’t have a good reputation for his videos or products that I’ve seen, they come across as very scammy and he has a very ‘podcast snakeoil scammer’ feel. I would avoid it.

Better off buying a Google Pixel, the older ones are cheap now.

This looks solid but keep in mind it’s a kickstarter.

I’ve managed to listen to this doofus for a couple of minutes and then promptly added him to the ignore list (thanks Freetube!). whether he’s a scammer or just deluded, I wouldn’t trust or use anything that had his fingers in or near it.

if his general vibe of snake-oil salesman doesn’t put you off, putting his name on the thing should. hard pass.
