Cryptography is what you yourself first need. Also - depends for what, if we are not using hardware acceleration. Encrypting text - yeah. Voice - may be more problematic.
Also consumer hardware and software is generally not designed to protect high value targets.
It’s intended for protection against crooks and hooligans, which is necessary for businesses, which is an incentive for vendors.
Providing protection against nation states is something which may even be considered a bad thing.

Maby it would be problematic for real time communication like voice when it comes to encryption but these phones do not even try to do text encryption bugs me.
I think we should just feel okay to say “I dont know what advice to give you if you are targeted by a nation”

We know what snowden does, and this guy is targeted by the usa. Basically never use phone, only computer on ethernet running qubesos from external drive on computer bought with cash.
It’s not a secret by now.
