Which phone suits me?
All four of our phones run exactly the same GrapheneOS with the same protections. So you are not picking a level of privacy, only hardware.
Start from what you want
Three common reasons people come to us, with the device that fits each best.
I mainly want to leave Google
You do not need the most expensive device to run completely without Google. The 8a does exactly what the 10 does, just with a lesser camera and a shorter update window.
Our pick
GrapheneOS Pixel 8a€700It has to become my only phone
If this becomes your daily device you want a battery and camera you are not compromising on. The 9a is the most sensible point on the price line for that.
Our pick
GrapheneOS Pixel 9a€800I want the longest possible runway
Security updates are the only thing that truly matters long term: without patches any device becomes unsafe. The 10 has the longest support and the newest secure element.
Our pick
GrapheneOS Pixel 10€1.050The four side by side
Only the differences you notice. Everything privacy-related is identical across all four.

What you do need alongside it
A phone covers your messages and your device. These three cover the gaps that remain after that.
What you do not need to spend money on
We would rather sell you less than have you buy something you do not need.
- The most expensive device. The gap between the 8a and the 10 is camera and update length, not how well you are protected.
- A subscription to a “secure” messaging service. Molly and Threema are already installed, and Signal itself is free.
- Two phones side by side. GrapheneOS runs multiple profiles on one device, fully separated from each other.
Still not sure?
Send us one message about what you want to use it for. We will tell you honestly which device is enough, even if that is the cheapest one.
