The Matrix mobiles
Teuton Systems is the first supplier in the Nordic region to launch privacy-proof mobile phones for ordinary users with a world-unique overall concept.
The mobiles are based on the world's most secure mobile operating system, GrapheneOS, which is a completely free version of Android, independent of and disconnected from Google, Google services and apps, and surveillance.
Today, it is common knowledge that you can never be sure that you are not being bugged - at least not as long as there is a mobile phone in the same room.
With the Matrix mobile, we hope to change this, as it provides far better protection against surveillance, eavesdropping and intrusion, compared to a regular mobile phone. You decide on authorisations and data yourself. At the same time, you have the same ease of use as on any smartphone, with access to all the apps and features you need to fulfil the needs of those who live in the system but don't want to be part of it.
In fact, the user interface of the Matrix mobile phone is virtually identical to that of a standard smartphone and requires no additional knowledge or training.
Everything comes pre-encrypted with the best secure apps for common tasks pre-installed on the mobile, with manuals in Swedish.
If I were configuring a smartphone today, I'd use @DanielMicay's @GrapheneOS as the base operating system. I'd desolder the microphones and keep the radios (cellular, wifi, and bluetooth) turned off when I didn't need them. I would route traffic through the @torproject network.

Some highlights
Enhanced security: The Matrix mobile phone includes advanced security features and enhancements beyond what standard Android offers, protecting against both known and unknown threats such as intrusion and theft of your personal data.
Strict integrity controls: The operating system is designed with privacy in mind, offering minimal data sharing with third parties and giving you extensive control over app permissions, greatly reducing the risk of eavesdropping and surveillance through e.g. microphone and camera.
Open source code: GrapheneOS is an open source project, allowing for transparency and independent review of the code to ensure integrity and security.
Regular updates: The system receives regular security updates to quickly address new vulnerabilities and threats.
Minimalistic design: Unlike many other operating systems, the Matrix mobile is free of bloatware and unnecessary apps, contributing to a cleaner user experience and better performance. You can choose exactly which apps you want on your phone.
Advanced app insulation: Matrix mobile makes the most of GrapheneOS sandboxing technology by isolating apps and restricting their access to system resources and user data.
