Pixel 7a new is $500.

Pixel 7a from this site is $950. As far as I can tell this is just the stock Pixel 7a.

That's $450 for someone to install grapehenos for you. I'm sure that's a good value proposition for some people.

Now consider the nitrophone 3a. https://shop.nitrokey.com/shop/nitrophone-3a-506?search=nitrophone#attr=793 it is a pixel 7a, with optional removal of all of the sensors microphones cameras, as you like. Physical removal. And that comes to 950 Euros.about $1050. If you leave all of the sensors on it's 715 eur, or 770 USD.

So that's only $270, to get somebody to install grapheneos on your phone for you.

I personally wouldn't buy the nitro phone, but it's interesting in the context of the menu.

For those unaware installing grapheneos it's very easy. They have a website, that'll do the entire installation for you. You just plug in your phone

This is always the case with everything, if you are lazy you will pay double.

That de-googled site uses google fonts.

How is this better for privacy than buying one used locally and paying in cash?
