Looking for input from any of you nerds that have tech experience in the phone/internet/cell/data security lanes.
A couple of buds pointed me to this new phone rollout. Link: https://www.unplugged.com/
Runs on an Android framework but without GMS and other tools that enable snooping. Kill switch that disconnects the battery from the electronics and a "wipe" feature. Everything outbound is encrypted. Several other features that are aimed at security. I already run Android / Samsung so even I might be comfortable with normal use of the Unplugged phone.
During some of my caveman level internet searches, I found this segment of a Shawn Ryan interview with Erik Prince. They discuss the new Unplugged phone rollout from 1:00 to about 1:08.

Regarding privacy/security, does this have merit?
What am I not seeing?
Thanks in advance for any constructive input or cautions.
