This 6.1" mobile phone with full 4G and 5G capabilities is unlocked. It connects to any Telstra, Optus, or Vodafone service, or their respective MVNOs. We source handsets new in Australia, so our clients have the full spectrum of frequency bands available.

While the hardware is identical to the Pixel 8A, the Google version of the Android operating system has been completely removed and replaced by the secure GrapheneOS. Like Google's version of the mobile OS, Graphene is based on the open source Android project - but completely de-Googled and hardened for enhanced privacy.

We configure the handset to your specifications with the full Proton suite (Mail, VPN, Calender and Drive) pre-installed.

If you need to install more apps, most developers offer a download from their respective websites. Alternatively, the choose from a number of app stores that can be installed.

Why Pixel Phones?

The handsets are manufactured by Foxconn (Taiwan) for Google. They carry unique chips that enable the secure Graphene operating system. Hardware-based security features like the hardware-backed key stores, verified boot, attestation and various hardware-based exploit mitigations need to be available for Graphene OS. Devices also need to have decent integration of IOMMUs for isolating components such as the GPU, radios (NFC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Cellular), media decode / encode, image processor, etc., because if the hardware / firmware support is missing or broken, there’s not much that the OS can do to provide exploitation. Pixel phones offer prompt and reliable firmware updates into the future, as they carry none of the bloated apps and add-ons found with most other handset suppliers.

If you prefer, we can supply higher series Pixel phone model as required. Please contact us for pricing.

Note the handsets come with a USB C to C charge cable and USB C to A adapter, but no charger is included. If you don't have a suitable charger from your previous phone, we can supply one as option.
