It has a better security. It's open hardware, verifiable, with no proprietary chips whatsoever unlike any Google-targeted phone. Even the physical construction can be verified manually:
> 200 ppi black and white LCD (336 x 536 resolution), 100% inspectable with standard optical microscope
Can you do it with your so much advertised phones? Oh, you "trust" large manufacturers. Good luck with that.
Where is the secure element? Where is the pointer authentication? Where is the secure boot?
>no proprietary chips
The device uses a Xilinx XC7S50 which is proprietary.
>Oh, you "trust" large manufacturers.
Yes, I do trust large manufacturers. The probability that someone makse you a custom phone to compromise you is practically 0%. The chance they do it via a visible hardware change as opposed to a software change is 0%. If you are that paranoid why not worry about trusting Xilinix in producing a custom bitstream when it sees you trying to synthesize this chip. Fortunately reality is more boring and these companies aren't out to get you.
