I'd be more worried about what Google and other such companies are capturing from my internet searches and emails.

I agree. I don't have the technical know-how to determine which app is using data. However, logically, a company like Onyx (or even a government) would have little benefit from eavesdropping on random users. If a government wanted to spy on people, I think they would install spyware on the devices on specific individuals, and make sure it is not detected so easily. Alternatively, they would install spyware en masse on mobile phones which are used by a lot more people and which are always online. Your point about microphone quality is also a good one: this is a weak point of the Boox, whereas most phones have decent mics in order to support speakerphone function.
