About us & our independence
We're a small, independent business that prepares GrapheneOS-ready Pixels for people who want strong privacy without doing the install themselves.
Who we are
Placeholder: tell your story here. Who runs Hardened Pixel Co., where you're based, and why you started. Keep it human and specific.
Our approach is simple: sell good hardware, install the official OS correctly, be honest about trade-offs, and encourage every customer to verify our work.
What we do
- Source carrier-unlocked Pixel 8-generation and newer phones, plus Pixel 6 and 7 series phones as clearly labeled budget options
- Inspect, test and update each device
- Install the official GrapheneOS release with the official installer, then re-lock the bootloader
- Help you set up and understand your phone
What we don't do
- Develop, modify, fork or rebrand GrapheneOS
- Speak for, or provide official support on behalf of, the GrapheneOS project
- Collect your data, set up accounts for you, or keep any access to your device
- Claim that any phone or SIM makes you anonymous or "untraceable"
