Flagship privacy. Affordable price.
The Pixel 8a brings Google's Tensor G3 chipset, a sharp 120Hz display and a 64MP camera to an accessible price point — then GrapheneOS strips out the trackers and data harvesting. A brilliant-value entry into a genuinely private daily driver.

Very fast service, I bought the remote rooting for pokemon go at night and was serviced first thing in the morning. Good communication and instructions. Took around 2 hours due to my own slow internet but other than w...
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.
