Has anyone ever used a Brax device? What was your experience? (braxtech.net)

Edit: Thanks for the responses everyone. Seems it was too good to be true.

The phone looks interesting abut the other devices almost look too good to be true, like potential vaporware.

Buyer beware. Years ago, Brax was selling end-of-life Pixel 3s (with a degoogled OS) and not letting his customers know these devices would not be receiving security updates.

Until the day I die, I will associate "Brax" with "scammer".

On a related note, I saw recently that the folks over at PostmarketOS are working on BengalOS which will support the Pixel 3 and 3a.

According to GrapheneOS, Google is the one who publishes security and firmware updates. If this is true, the Pixel 3 and 3a will remain insecure regardless of OS.

Oh wow! I had no idea.
