Degoogled Pixel 7 Pro 128GB in Black Network Unlocked for Peak Privacy with GrapheneOS or CalyxOS.


I'm rocking a Pixel myself so that I have maximum privacy but can still get:

  • a 50Mp lens (AND google's computational photography without any tracking, facial recognition or spying - if I want),
  • faux 5G - fast but not real 5G yet (good - see below!)
  • A locked bootloader for high threat model scenarios
  • A firewall to restrict app permissions on an individual basis
  • Free basic VPN access with CalyxOS
  • This handset is also supported for at least 5 years from launch (and may get extended to 7 like the 8 & 9) with security, firmware and OS updates/upgrades. There's still 3 years to go!
  • Box included, but they don't have a charger anyway!

I have to say it's my favourite irony that google's handsets can be made the most private.


Not all Degoogled phones are created equal.

You cannot Degoogle (DeApple) an Apple device. If it isn't an old jailbreak, sell it to a Normie.

There are many custom ROM (replacement software) choices but not all are still maintained. Fewer still receive the latest security updates or Android version. Some will not run Play Store Apps natively and so are more inconvenient. Few can relock the bootloader which adds a security layer for those with a high threat model

Qualitronics degoogled devices (phones, smartwatches, tablets and laptops) are meticulously selected as new or vendor refurbished stock to have the maximum lifespan. The batteries are new or renewed. The aesthetics will be perfect or near perfect. An "older" model variant with a new battery and custom ROM will outperform the latest model with a caned battery and Google/Samsung/Sony bloat software. These phones are also running fully maintained ROMs and you can strike your own balance between convenience and threat model.


Why do you need this phone...?


    Did you know that both Google and Apple use WiFi SCANNING (Triangulation) AND NOW BLUETOOTH SCANNING (from contact tracing) on your phone to locate and track you AND THOSE NEARBY every second that you have the phone with you? This still happens even when you have denied location access, have WiFi turned off and even when you think your phone is entirely switched off. It is not.

    Did you know that if you've been to a protest, near certain buildings or designated areas (Davos) this tracking (and SIM card imsi-catchers such as Stingray) have been used to identify your presence there?  Hence the helicopters or heavily packed rucsacs.

    THE NEWEST THREATS ARE AI on-device pre-encryption scanning, AMAZON, RADIOWAVES AND ULTRASOUND. Your Bluetooth, which is a radiowave - (that's now always on for apple and google thanks to contact tracing, whether you have an app for that OR NOT!) has been hijacked without your knowledge nor authorisation to become a MESH NETWORK. Capable of collecting and sending data between all kinds of devices (speakers, TV's, doorbells, lightbulbs, thermostats etc.) WITHOUT THE INTERNET. Bluetooth LE can reach half a mile. Don't forget, you are paying for the power to these devices too! Amazon's network is live NOW. It's called Sidewalk. You can disable the permission in your Amazon account (supposedly) BUT can you be sure it's turned off? Apple is doing this with airtags too. A DEGOOGLED DEVICE IS ABLE TO KEEP THE BLUETOOTH OFF and so is excluded from these networks.

    Did you know that the Facebook app (among others) accesses this data - again without your explicit PERMISSION (and even if you've denied it) to track you and identify you and those you meet? CREEPY EH? I can personally confirm this has happened to me.

    Now you know why Google Street View cars were sneakily scanning for all broadcasting WiFi routers as they mapped the world. This was unlawful in the EU, Google were fined Billions, the EU kept YOUR compensation. Today the scanning is done by your device - see above. Now you know the real reason that phone batteries are no longer removable.

    What's even MORE DISTURBING is that these companies will sell your identifiable data to anyone, including law enforcement - no warrant needed and the massive aggregators like PALANTIR and JIGSAW (also Google) whose datastore was the real source for Cambridge Analytica and Aggregate IQ.

    The only way to be sure to stop it is to remove the Google-Android Operating System completely and leave the iPhone at home. This operating system is called an AOSP that is the open source version of Android. You can still run any android app but if you want privacy you'll need to avoid the obvious ones. For example Facebook, Google maps and so on.

    The benefit it has over other privacy operating systems is it's compatibility with Android Apps. This means that you don't need to worry about the Google's Android system spying - because it's not on the phone at all and the apps don't get unnecessary permissions to the phone's functions because they are isolated from them.

    It uses alternative app stores and spoof accounts, again to avoid tracking you by account sign-ins, device linking (device fingerprinting) and user profiles. I use one of these myself right now. I can watch videos without ads, encrypt the whole device and set it to wipe automatically, message securely, call without being listened to for key words, block ads on all apps, use maps without tracking and search-recording, remove meta data from images and many more cool things.

    • Updates available Over The Air via the phone itself mean security is kept as top priority

    • GrapheneOS and CalyxOS are based on Android 14 which automatically protects the MAC address by randomisation and other identifiers from apps and networks. Another layer of security.

    I don't like to disguise the postage and packaging costs in the item price. This shipping price includes, packing materials, insurance and first class tracking that is an unfortunate necessity due to buyer fraud. It is not even the full cost, only the Royal Mail charge. Thank you for your understanding.
