• The top tier privacy phone with 32GB of INTERNAL solid state memory PLUS MicroSD card support ripe for encryption or removal to keep it safe.
  • Degoogling also means DE-SONYING! No more Bloat and copycat apps
  • A huge 6" FHD IPS screen displays everything with stunning beauty
  • Go back to a headphone jack for superior sound reproduction
  • Exemplary SONY build quality and best in class screen still enrich the experience of any OS
  • Lineage operating system removes the spying apps and OS parts and adds functionality not in the play store. Youtube without ads or download for later anyone?
  • Original box, Fast Charger and Headphones all included
  • All my phones are carefully chosen to be NEW or barely used to have the optimum lifespan, especially the battery
  • Stay with 4G as long as possible. 5G uses beam-forming to track individual devices ie. YOU within inches
  • DON'T BE FOOLED BY APPLE & GOOGLE'S MARKETING. YOUR ENCRYPTED DATA IS VISIBLE TO THEM ON THEIR OS AND CLOUD SERVICES (THEY HAVE THE KEY) AND THE META-DATA ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR TRANSACTIONS IS EQUALLY AS VALUABLE AND USED TO PROFILE YOU.
  • Regarding Apple's photo scanning (hashes) to help catch "criminals". If they can read your device, they can WRITE to it.

This model - SONY XA2 ULTRA - uses the  LineageOS with additional privacy and security enhancements and more recommended privacy apps that have been tested by them. It replaces Google DNS (another of their tracking tactics) and allows individual system-app choice during installation.

  • DEGOOGLED TO CREATE A MODERN PRIVACY-RESPECTING SMARTPHONE - NOW YOU ARE THE SMARTER ONE. I'M USING THIS MODEL NOW AS MY DAILY DRIVER AND IT'S THE BEST PRIVACY OPTION. NOW BASED ON ANDROID 11 WITH THE APP ISOLATION FROM MAC AND IMEI IDENTIFIERS BUT ALSO WORKS OUT OF THE BOX. ALL MY BANKING WORKS, NOTIFICATIONS WORK (BUT I PREFERRED NOT HAVING THEM) LOYALTY CARDS WORK MOBILE NETWORK APPS WORK.

    I also install a custom suite of apps of your choosing that are privacy and security focused.

    I have found only a very few apps that won't work without GSF (google services framework).  These apps are GSF-dependent so you don't want them anyway!

    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 this tracking (and SIM card imsi-catchers such as Stingray - hence the helicopters or heavily packed rucsacs) have been used to identify your presence there?

    THE NEWEST THREATS ARE 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, thermoststs 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 your permission in your account (supposedly) BUT can you be sure it's turned off. Apple will do 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 to track you and personally 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 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 compatibilty 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.

    • 4Gb RAM is plenty for Lineage and will be powering along for years to come

    • Updates available OTA via the phone itself mean security is kept as top priority

    • LINEAGE OS 19 is based on Android 12 which now automatically protects the MAC address and other identifiers from apps. 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.
