De-Googled Phone Options

BraX3

A powerful, privacy-focused smartphone with open-source software, guaranteed updates, and long-term repairability. Control your data without giving up everyday features.

BraX3 is one of the few options today where we have complete access to the entire source code and we have shared that with development partners. Making it truly suitable as a community project.

This phone is NOT for Verizon. Full specs of the phone are on https://braxtech.net

Pixel De-Googled Phones

The other options with De-Googled Phones are to flash various models of Google Pixels. We sell several models in the store. The main advantage of Google Pixels is that they work with Verizon. So if your area is dependent on Verizon coverage, then you have no alternative as a BraX3 doesn't support Verizon. Aside from pre-flashed Pixels in our store, you can do a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) and we can flash it for you.

What is OEM Unlock?

If you do BYOD for flashing, the device must be OEM Unlocked. Only 50% of Pixels are OEM unlockable. Typically only phones from Google Store can be unlocked. Carrier sold phones are locked. To see if your Pixel is eligible for de-Googling, see FAQ for procedures for checking the OEM Unlocking status of a Pixel.
