$699.00
Configuration 128 GB, refurbished, factory unlocked

Independent seller: iTechVista is not affiliated with or endorsed by the GrapheneOS project or Google. GrapheneOS is free software from grapheneos.org; our price covers the phone, the install, the verification and the support.

A Google Pixel 9a (128 GB, US model GXQ96, factory unlocked, refurbished in excellent condition) with GrapheneOS installed and verified by us, then set up with you on a 45-minute video call. For people who want GrapheneOS but do not own a supported Pixel yet, or would rather not do the install themselves.

What you get

  • The right phone, bought for you. A factory unlocked US Pixel 9a, never a carrier model. Carrier models can block the bootloader unlocking that GrapheneOS needs, so we do not use them.
  • GrapheneOS installed from the official installer at grapheneos.org, with the bootloader locked again afterwards so verified boot protects the phone.
  • A verified install. Before it ships we check the verified boot key hash against the one GrapheneOS publishes for the Pixel 9a, run an Auditor check, and confirm the phone updates normally. The results go on a card in the box.
  • A 45-minute onboarding session by video call with a person, once the phone is in your hands.
  • 30 days of email support for questions about the phone and GrapheneOS, with a reply within one business day.
  • A long support window. GrapheneOS lists the Pixel 9a as a recommended device with a minimum support end of April 2032.

How it works

  1. You place your order, using an email address you read: everything we send, including your session booking, goes there. We buy the phone only after you have paid, so nobody pays for stock sitting on a shelf.
  2. The phone comes to us. Every phone is inspected before we install anything. Then we install GrapheneOS, verify it and test it.
  3. We ship it to you with tracking and insurance.
  4. We book your onboarding call by email.

Delivery time and shipping

Delivery usually takes 8 to 12 business days from your order. That covers buying the phone, the inspection, the install and checks, and shipping. If the phone we receive fails inspection we replace it, which can add about a week, and we tell you the same day. We will not promise anything faster.

  • United States: free tracked and insured shipping.
  • Canada: $35 USD tracked and insured shipping. Import duty and taxes are not included in our price: you pay them. Canadian orders are processed by our international partner Global-e, which calculates duty and taxes and collects them at checkout, so there is nothing more to pay on delivery. If checkout does not accept your Canadian address, email support@itechvista.com and we will sort it out.
  • We do not ship this product to other countries.

In the box

  • The phone, with GrapheneOS installed and erased ready for you to set up with your own PIN.
  • A USB-C cable and a SIM tool.
  • A card with your phone's IMEI, the verified boot key hash we checked, our Auditor result and the date.
  • A one-page "check it yourself" sheet with the steps below.

No charger, case or screen protector is included.

Before you buy: what does not work, or may not

GrapheneOS runs almost every Android app, but be clear about these before you order:

  • Some banking apps refuse to run on anything except Google's own Android.
  • Tap-to-pay with Google Wallet does not work on GrapheneOS.
  • Wi-Fi Calling depends on your carrier and may not work on some. Ordinary calls, texts and mobile data are not affected.

We ask about your carrier and the apps you rely on before we buy your phone. If one of these is a deal-breaker, we refund you in full before anything is bought. You are welcome to email support@itechvista.com before ordering if you are unsure.

Not included: moving data from your old phone (contacts, photos, messages, chat apps) is our data migration add-on ($49 USD), because it can take hours. Extra session time, and support after the first 30 days, is $25 per 30 minutes, always agreed with you first.

Returns and warranty

  • 30-day returns: return the phone within 30 days of delivery, in the condition we sent it, for a refund of the product price. Setting it up and using it is fine. For a change-of-mind return you pay the return postage.
  • 90-day hardware warranty from us: if the phone develops a hardware fault within 90 days of delivery, we repair or replace it, and we pay the shipping. It covers faults, not drops, cracks or water damage.
  • Full terms: returns and warranty for phones with GrapheneOS.

Is this phone for you?

If you already own a supported Pixel, you do not need a new phone. GrapheneOS is free, and you can install it yourself with the official web installer, which will also cost you less. If you would like a hand, our GrapheneOS installation service sets up the phone you already have.

Specialist sellers often charge more for the same model. What our price pays for is the right model chosen and bought for you, an install we verify, and a person who sets the phone up with you.

Check the phone yourself when it arrives

You do not have to trust us. The GrapheneOS FAQ recommends that anyone who buys a phone with GrapheneOS already installed checks it, and we will walk you through these steps on your call if you like:

  1. Compare the verified boot key hash. When the phone starts, it shows a yellow notice that it is loading a different operating system, with an ID. Compare that ID with the verified boot key hash for the Pixel 9a published on the official install guide at grapheneos.org/install/web. They must match.
  2. Factory reset it from recovery, as the GrapheneOS FAQ advises, so you start from a clean phone. Nothing of ours stays on it.
  3. Set up the Auditor app. GrapheneOS provides Auditor for hardware-based verification. It needs a second Android phone running Auditor to scan a QR code, or you can use the optional GrapheneOS device integrity monitoring service instead.

Pixel 9a with GrapheneOS: questions

How long does delivery take?

Usually 8 to 12 business days from your order to delivery. We buy the phone only after you have paid. Every phone is inspected before we install anything; if the one we receive fails inspection we replace it, which can add about a week, and we tell you the same day. Then we install GrapheneOS, verify it and ship it with tracking and insurance.

Where do you ship, and what does it cost?

United States: free tracked and insured shipping. Canada: $35 USD tracked and insured shipping, and you pay the import duty and taxes. Canadian orders are processed by our international partner Global-e, which calculates duty and taxes and collects them at checkout, so there is nothing more to pay on delivery. We do not ship this phone to other countries.

Will it work with my carrier?

The phone is a factory unlocked US Pixel 9a (model GXQ96), so it takes a SIM or eSIM from most US and Canadian carriers that support the Pixel 9a. Ordinary calls, texts and mobile data work. Wi-Fi Calling depends on the carrier and may not work on some, and features such as VoLTE and visual voicemail also vary by carrier. Tell us your carrier before you order and we will check what is known about it on GrapheneOS.

Will my banking apps work?

Most apps work on GrapheneOS with sandboxed Google Play, but some banking apps refuse to run on anything except Google's own Android, and tap-to-pay with Google Wallet does not work on GrapheneOS. We ask about the apps you rely on before we buy your phone, and if one is a deal-breaker we refund you in full before anything is bought.

What happens at the onboarding session?

A 45-minute video call with a person, booked by email once the phone arrives. We can check the verified boot key hash with you, set up the phone, your accounts and apps (with sandboxed Google Play if you want it), go through permissions, backups and updates, and answer your questions. Moving data from your old phone is not part of the 45 minutes: that is the data migration add-on ($49 USD). After the call you have 30 days of email support, with a reply within one business day.

Can I return it?

Yes. Return the phone within 30 days of delivery, in the condition we sent it, for a refund of the product price. Setting it up and using it is fine. Email support@itechvista.com first and we will send return instructions; for a change-of-mind return you pay the return postage. Separately, our 90-day hardware warranty covers hardware faults (not drops, cracks or water): we repair or replace the phone and pay the shipping. See returns and warranty for the full terms.

Why buy this instead of installing GrapheneOS myself?

If you already have a supported Pixel and are comfortable following the official web installer, doing it yourself is free and costs less. This phone is for people who would rather have the right model bought for them, the install done and verified, and a person to set it up with them. If you already own a Pixel, our installation service is the better fit.
