This is a very important point. Jolla's pre-order site (https://commerce.jolla.com/products/jolla-phone-preorder) states:

>User configurable physical Privacy Switch - turn off your microphone, bluetooth, Android apps, or whatever you wish

Unless that user configuration is via internal jumper or DIP switch, then this cannot be a hardware privacy switch.

Exactly. And on that list, running Android apps on SFOS is very much a software feature, imo quite unlikely to be disabled purely in hardware.
