Osom teases the front of its OV1 smartphone and Privacy Cable

Osom Privacy has just posted a new teaser of its upcoming OV1 smartphone. Osom is a privacy-focused brand that’s working to build a privacy-focused smartphone with the core team of engineers who built the Essential PH-1.

When you charge your device, you could be sharing personal data. The OSOM Privacy Cable gives you the ability to turn off data collection with the flip of a switch. Included in-box. #privacy #ownyourprivacy #osom2022 #android #google #usbcable pic.twitter.com/QYBoSXxdLe

The Tweet shows the the USB-C Privacy Cable that we saw last week, along with the first image of the front of the device. This cable has a physical toggle switch on it that lets the user decide whether to allow data to pass through the cable or power-only.

The image also shows the front of the OV1 phone for the first time. We can see that the device has thing bezels on the sides with a slightly thicker lower bezel. We also get a glimpse of what apps are pre-installed on the phone. In addition to what looks like Osom’s privacy app, the default browser looks to the the Brave browser, and Signal appears to be the default messaging app. We wonder if the app will include a default SMS app.

We learned about Osom’s Privacy Cable last week when the company detailed some things about the OV1’s build materials and that it would be powered by Qualcomm’s successor to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. The phone will be built with Stainless steel, ceramic, and glass. Will feature "Beyond all day battery" and it will cost under $1000.
