@Tutanota @volla security updates for a long time. features are nice but having the peace of mind that my phone is going to be secure and updated for a good amount of time is just awesome

@riiku @Tutanota @volla Yes, updates for the technical lifetime of the hardware is a very good idea. Forgot to mention that in my response.

@riiku @Tutanota @volla And notvto forget operating time with the battery.

My Xperia XZ2 Premium I also use as a 4K video camera where some material is used in promo videos and a documentary on a Blu-ray.

By far, the most important part for me is digital freedom.
I don't like being told what to do with the devices I bought and own.
This is why I run Linux and my phone is jailbroken.
This is why I use the Fediverse.
This is why I'm a Tuta subscriber.

I own my devices. I make my rules.

@Tutanota Well, it certainly doesn't include the exorbitant price of the device, just because "privacy is paramount." Seriously! Someone there really went totally crazy with those prices! What's so expensive about the phone that it's so jaw-droppingly expensive overall? The Swarovski-encrusted, gold-plated casing? These phones are not so wonderful that they should charge customers such prices for them. Dear creators, come down to earth. Otherwise, a dog with a lame leg won't buy this.🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

@Tutanota @volla I take privacy as a given on a phone that focuses on that, so the most important is to be able to use it for essential activities such as banking and authentication.

@Tutanota @volla I guess we all want the Fairphone (repairability) with GrapheneOS (security), but most important would be long software updates (and a not too hard way to exchange spare parts).

Great to have another independent manufacture on the market!

Sharing used to be a privilege. Now it's theft and profit driven. I went to Linux to escape vendor lock in. Now I have to fight to just use services without demand on my data.
They're my thoughts and experiences, I'll share them because I want to, not because I have to.

Most important is control over what apps and components are installed on device. Ideal is to be able to rebuild OS from source.
