TL;DR
- The HIROH Phone is a privacy-focused device that runs e/OS and has a physical killswitch to restrict access to the camera, mics, and connectivity options.

- It packs a 5,000mAh battery, a triple-rear camera setup, 16GB of RAM, and a MediaTek chipset.
There’s a lot of talk about de-Googling these days. The movement essentially advocates cutting Google’s access to private information on people’s devices. That’s why many privacy-focused operating systems, like GrapheneOS, are gaining traction among users who want to avoid Google’s tracking and data collection and protect their information from reaching the wrong hands. Now, a new smartphone called the HIROH Phone is promising all those things, and it even adds a hardware killswitch for extra peace of mind.
