Purism will try its hand at security-focused smartphones
Purism's laptops, which focus on security and privacy, have been doing so well that the company now intends to venture into another type of electronics. The San Francisco-based "freedom-respecting computer manufacturer" is planning to build what it calls the "world's first encrypted, open platform smartphone." It's named the Librem 5, and Purism aims to give it the power to make encrypted calls that hide your phone number, send encrypted texts and emails and set up VPN for web browsing.
