Hi all, I’m trying to help out a friend of mine who needs a phone for his son who is a expert phone hacker, he’s given his son a bunch of the standard kosher phones (not naming any brands due to lashon hora concerns) and his son has broken through them way to easily. He is now debating between the mind phone 2 pro and the wonder phone for his son, Can anyone chime in on how secure these are? Would they be able to withstand a brilliant bochur who has cracked open many of the other cheaper ones? ---

The Brick Phone harkens back to a more simple time when phones were gigantic and had one function. Glazed inside and natural Terra Cotta on the outside, it has one function as well---to make your place look... Competitive pricing! ---

Does he need any specific features? If you are okay with talk only, the Escolls Ani Choma _seems_ to be pretty well locked down to me ---

> [@yttgrad2024](#): > > he’s given his son a bunch of the standard kosher phones (not naming any brands due to lashon hora concerns) and his son has broken through them way to easily I understand why you don’t want to name phone brands, but then that makes it a bit harder to advise. Some so-called kosher phone brands have very weak kashrus. But I’d say that any phone that @ars18 pentested is probably safe, unless your friends son happens to know @flipphoneguy. That said, nothing is actually impossible to hack, but good kosher tech company will make sure that their products aren’t practical to hack. ---

You’re talking about specifically the Lightphone ii and not the Lightphone iii. And I’m sorry but > “sure but if you have an e-ink screen there isn’t really anything you can do anyway” is just a non-sensical thing to say. That’s like the people that buy a flip phone and give it to their kid with an open browser and say, “What’s the problem? It’s a flip phone anyway. What could you do on a flip phone already?” ---

Agreed. E-ink devices can still use a browser, right? ---

First of all, light phones don’t have a browser. Second, it’s what you cen do on that browser that makes the difference ---
