I will be so glad to get the Brax3. I spent $1,200 for the Samsung phone. Their latest update incudes “Writing Assist” which is an AI powered “feature that helps users improve their writing, correct grammar, and modify the tone of their messages.” When I copy a sentence Writing Assist appears and prevents me from copying it, and presents me with something I would never use. In settings it can be turned off. However it keeps appearing. In other words Samsung has decided there captive audience will use it and be happy.

Hello Sir,
I recently joined the Brax community and would like to buy the Brax3 as you are. Are they currently shipping the Brax3?, or is there a waiting time. Did they give you a date (or approximate date) when you’ll be receiving the phone?
Thank You.

If you check the other threads in this forum you’ll see the Brax3 team are currently in the process of dispatching phones to all the people who pre-ordered, including the original backers from last year and the later second round of pre-orders from Indiegogo from Feb-May this year. Once that’s done they will be shipping new orders placed via their store.
The store is here:

Yeah Samsung are pretty terrible and often fly under the radar! But they deserve to be always included with the other bad actors (like Microsoft, Google, Meta, Apple, etc)…

I bought a Samsung SmartTV and was surprised to learn that it had a hot mic that was listening whether the TV was On or Off. I found this out my accident one day it started responding to “voice commands” that were never commands but just people having a conversation in the same room! Hilarious at the time. Bye bye Samsung

Yes, that is a good point.
Smart devices that connect to any external, non self-hosted, services are not to be trusted. Too much potnetial and temptation for abuse. Not to mention compromise by criminals or worse.

That TV also has hidden cameras throughout the pixels and you can’t turn them off or cover them with tape of course.
