Yes — eight new or newly shipping privacy phones sit outside the original ten, and Motorola's GrapheneOS line for 2027 is the one to watch
Asked (summary):
What are the top 20 phones in the world based on privacy alone?
Asked (follow-up):
“is there any new brands youve left out thats released this year or last year or even next year?”
This report covers 10 curated entries — 8 distinct devices or platforms across 7 brands — filtered from 112 candidate rows and four focused evidence sets (over 1,100 source rows) spanning many independent hosts, checked 17 September 2026. These are new or newly shipping privacy-oriented models, not necessarily new brands: Jolla, Punkt, FuriLabs, Unplugged and Motorola are established companies. None receive the earlier privacy scores yet — evidence and shipping maturity are uneven. Some model-specific claims remain primarily vendor-sourced and are labelled as such.
Timeline of each model's key date, grouped by verified status. Green = customer shipments verified · grey = sold out · amber = crowdfunding, no shipment · blue = announced only. Hover or tap a dot for the privacy case and caveat.

Method: editorially curated follow-up to a ten-phone privacy comparison. Built from a normalized candidate table (112 rows) plus focused evidence sets for Punkt (201 rows), Jolla (362 rows), FuriLabs (199 rows) and BraX3/UP Phone (433 rows); research checked 2026-09-17. Rows for older Librem/PinePhone/Volla devices, phones already in the original ten, Freedom/Trump phones and duplicates were excluded as false positives. Dates are the model's key verified event (shipment where evidenced, otherwise announcement); prices are the latest verified listing. No privacy/security scores are assigned. Full evidence quotes cut for space.
