What to compare before you buy
- What's included. A VPN, an eSIM and a messenger licence add up quickly if you buy them separately.
- Security setup. GrapheneOS is free and the same for everyone. What sellers add on top (or don't) is where they really differ.
- Delivery time. Some phones are dispatched the next business day; others take weeks.

Questions
What makes Privacy First different?
Our phone includes our own Security Suite on top of GrapheneOS (wipe triggers including a dead man's switch and duress PINs, USB data blocked, automatic reboot and more), plus a Private IP data eSIM with 10GB, 6 months of Mullvad VPN and a Threema licence.
Do all GrapheneOS sellers add their own security setup?
No. GrapheneOS is the same free operating system whoever installs it. Some sellers add their own configuration or software on top, as described in each seller's own words above; others install standard GrapheneOS.
Is a GrapheneOS phone from any of these sellers legal in Australia?
Yes. GrapheneOS is a legal operating system, and you can install it yourself on a compatible Pixel for free with GrapheneOS's official web installer.
How was this comparison made?
Each seller's details come from their own website, checked on 1 October 2026; each card names the website used. "Not stated" means their website doesn't say. Prices and terms change, so confirm with the seller before you buy.
