The latest in a long line of collaboration between Volla and hide.me VPN, the Volla Phone Quintus is now live on Kickstarter! If you value your privacy when it comes to your mobile devices, look no further than Volla and its smartphone offerings. Read on to see what the Quintus has to offer this time round.
Volla Phone Quintus – function AND form
Volla has been making mobile devices for a long time now, and it shows in the fantastic design language of the Quintus. Not only does it look great, but it has the specs to back it up. In line with the sort of features you would normally only see on flagship phones from the usual brands.
This includes a 6.78” AMOLED display with a 120hz refresh rate. Triple camera setup with wide, ultrawide, and macro sensors. And to power it all is an 8-core Mediatek Dimensity 7050 CPU with a Mali-G68 MC4 GPU.
Volla’s Distributed Cloud
Another innovation from Volla is their Distributed Cloud. Volla’s bread and butter is privacy-centric mobile software alternatives to the likes of Google and Apple. That is where the Distributed Cloud comes in.
The technology is based on Holochain, which takes the best aspects of Blockchain without the downsides. Using this technology you can instead upload your highly-encrypted data to a distributed cloud of other Volla users, keeping your data secure and backed up without putting it in the hands of big tech companies.
Volla OS is better than ever
Volla OS has been a labour of love for Volla. A privacy-centric mobile operating system that gives the users the keys and lets them do what they want with their device. Volla has been plugging away it and improving it both under the hood and on the surface too, with a very coherent experience.
A recent focus for the team has been simplicity. Removing the guesswork from the user and letting Volla OS do the work. The Intelligent text field, for example, will accurately guess what you want to do just by typing something. A phone number for example will give you the option to send an SMS without any more work on your end.
And for the Linux fans, there is full support for Ubuntu Touch as well, great for the tinkerers out there.
Your security is taken seriously
There is a special security mode that alters the way the phone works. By activating this mode you can selectively block apps and their background processes that you don’t trust or that collect user data but that you need.
Volla OS even offers templates for inclusion lists or exclusion lists for malware, scams, trackers and more. You can also block access to the Internet for selected apps so they cannot pass on content or statistics about your usage when you use them.
