From the article:
I checked the privacy policies / statutes on the websites to estimate the legal location of the projects.
Thanks for doing this.
Also, I'm not surprised to see Canada absent from the list (as is tradition...)
I believe GrapheneOS is Canadian, but nobody sells phones with it out of the box (yet, Motorola is supposed to start at some point)
Reportedly early 2027
all of LATAM being absent as always too, and oceania and africa
even if it was there, banking apps?
Still waiting for someone to break the market for us. Doesn't need to be Canadian owned. Although I'm not sure who would be a distributor. Maybe https://openbox.ca/
I thought Mobian was an international project?
I marked it USA because it comes from Debian which trademark is owned by
Do you have a better source for their legal location?
Ah that makes sense
Hiroh appears to be a vaporware; looking for it now, I think it was meant to release in March and then April, websites still shows April release date but that month has come and gone with no release.
I can't speak for Hirod specifically, but delays in the release of niche hardware devices are extremely common.
