The specs are wild, this is likely going to be very expensive

It has a secure element so it could run Graphene no? The only problem is that it's not a mainstream device so I don't think it's going to be supported.

A similar device that's currently released is Nokia XR21, but the only pro is that it's manufactured in Hungary

Don't bother with HMD's candybar dumbphones if you wanna escape Android, mine calls 999 (ambulance) if I put it in the backpack and it did it two times on its own (HMD 110 4G 2024), flip phones shouldn't have this problem though.

What the actual fuck?!?

The keypad lock feature is really bad. You know the feature in smartphones where even on the lockscreen there is an "emergency call" button, so anyone can call? In the HMD candybar phones, you can just press "9" and it bypasses the keyboard lock. So if you put the phone in a bag and the buttons get pressed randomly, eventually it will reach "999". Then it's a matter of the green call button being randomly pressed and it calls the ambulance.

The emergency team even called me back asking why do I keep calling and do I need help, as they wanted to block my number from calling them.
