Private by design. Brilliant value.
The Pixel 6a pairs Google's first-generation Tensor chip and clean Pixel hardware with CalyxOS on board, it's stripped of trackers and Google's data harvesting — an easy, familiar switch to a private phone, with optional microG for broad app compatibility. The most affordable way into a genuinely private, de-Googled daily driver.
- CalyxOS (privacy-focused Android, optional microG) out of the box
- Google security updates guaranteed through July 2027
CalyxOS Privacy & Security

The ticket system is very helpful and quick. A person named Thom helped a lot on understanding the device delivered and what applications are safe and risky to use.
They did a really fast and good job with my order, everything is like described
