Why Privacy Matters
New to privacy? Watch Naomi Brockwell’s Make Your Phone More Private for a clear explainer.
What is GrapheneOS?
A non-profit, open-source Android OS prioritizing privacy/security. Key tech: hardened sandboxing, exploit mitigations, advanced permissions. Full features.
Support GrapheneOS
Donate via grapheneos.org/donate. I donate $10 per phone sold/installed (value-for-value).
Recommended Devices
All Pixels get identical GrapheneOS support. Prioritize 7-year security updates:
- Avoid 6/7 series—better value if you purchase a Grade B 8a. Pixel 10a is experimental (April 2026). See GrapheneOS devices.
- Security: Pixel 8/9/10 feature ARMv9 CPUs with hardware memory tagging (MTE) for exploit protection; Pixel 10 adds Titan M2 AI security.
App Stores & Apps
No Google Play by default. It is sandboxed if needed (per profile for safety).
- Included: Contacts, Clock, Calculator, Files, Gallery, Phone, SMS.
- GrapheneOS Store: Camera, Auditor, Vanadium browser, sandboxed Google Play.
- Zap.Store: Beginner-friendly, NOSTR-verified apps (recommended).
- F-Droid: Open-source apps (recommended)
- Aurora Store: Play Store alternative (last resort).
- Obtainium: Download APKs from authors source on GitHub and others (advanced).
Tip: Install apps from Zap.Store first to minimize issues.
Pixel 8 vs 9 vs 10 Comparison
Pro vs A:
- Pros add telephoto, bigger batteries/displays, premium glass (~$200-300 more).
- A-series (e.g., 8a/9a): Near-Pro cameras, plastic build, value pricing—identical updates/security.
Recommendations:
- Balanced (Budget): Pixel 8/8a Pro proven MTE, long support.
- Future-Proof: Pixel 9/10 Pro AI (Gemini), brighter screens, Fold options.
- Daily Driver: A-series for lightness/value.
- Weigh brightness (key outdoors), heft (10 heaviest), camera zoom/AI gains.
