HIROH has launched a new smartphone aimed at an ever-growing group of users – those who are tired of being monitored. The new HIROH Phone is designed for those who value privacy above all else and want full control over their own data.
The launch comes at a time when distrust of traditional Android devices is growing. While many manufacturers claim to protect users’ information, most still send large amounts of data back to Google or other analytics platforms. HIROH wants to break this trend – and they do so in a very clear way.
In terms of technical specifications, the smartphone is powered by a Dimensity 8300 processor, complemented by 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage. It supports microSD cards up to 2TB.
Without Google – with complete freedom
At the heart of the HIROH Phone is e/OS, an operating system based on Android, but completely stripped of Google services and hidden tracking mechanisms. Instead, the phone uses open source alternatives for apps, giving you the familiar Android experience – but without your data being sent to “the evil company,” as the developers jokingly call Google.
A dedicated physical switch allows you to instantly turn off the camera, microphone, and wireless modules – a level of security rarely seen outside of military or intelligence-approved devices.
Powerful hardware and serious build quality
Under the hood we find the MediaTek Dimensity 8300 processor, combined with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage, which can be expanded with microSD cards of up to 2 TB.
HIROH claims that their company, unlike major tech giants like Apple and Samsung, does not collect user data.
The display is a 6.7-inch AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, and the camera setup consists of three sensors on the back – including a 108MP main camera and a 32MP front camera for selfies and video calls. A 5,000mAh battery ensures solid endurance.
A manifesto for digital freedom
HIROH positions itself as the moral counterpart to Apple and Samsung. The company promises that no user data is collected or passed on, and markets the HIROH Phone as a “digital sanctuary” for people looking to reduce their online footprint.
