Privacy Devices vs PrivacyPros
A broad “privacy ecosystem” can be appealing — one shop for phones, accessories and more. But breadth and depth aren’t the same thing. If the phone is what you actually need to get right, this is a straight look at what each device comes with.
PrivacyPros casts a wide net. Privacy Devices goes deep on the phone: Phantom Protocol armed on delivery, Mullvad VPN + global eSIM + Threema bundled, same-day Australian dispatch, a 12-month warranty, and Bitcoin payment — everything in the box, nothing to add on.
The honest version
A wide product range is genuinely useful if you’re kitting out a whole setup. But a privacy phone isn’t a commodity in a catalogue — it’s the device that has to behave correctly the moment it matters. We’d rather do that one thing properly than spread across a shelf of SKUs.
So every Privacy Devices order arrives finished: Phantom Protocol configured and armed (duress PIN, remote wipe, decoy profile, rapid lockdown), a 12-month Mullvad VPN, a global eSIM for 170+ countries, and a Threema licence — included, not itemised separately. We test the major Australian banking apps before it ships, dispatch the same day from Australia, and back it with a 12-month warranty.
We’re not going to characterise PrivacyPros’ range, pricing or inclusions for you — confirm those on their site. The table below is a promise about Privacy Devices only: this is what you get, every time.
What to confirm before you buy — from anyone
A bigger catalogue doesn’t answer the questions that decide whether a privacy phone is right. Whether you’re looking at PrivacyPros, Privacy Devices or anyone else, pin down five things: (1) is the duress / remote-wipe layer configured for you, or DIY? (2) are VPN, eSIM and an encrypted messenger included with the phone, or sold as separate line items? (3) where does it ship from and how quickly? (4) what warranty and return window covers the hardware? (5) can you pay privately, in Bitcoin?
Measure that against our full vendor comparison — every Privacy Devices answer is on one page. If a broad-range vendor matches it on the phone itself, great; if the device is your priority, depth tends to beat breadth.

Privacy Devices’ column lists what ships as standard in every order. Cells marked “Confirm · vendor” are things that vary between sellers and that we will not state on PrivacyPros’s behalf — check their current listing directly. We don’t publish competitor prices, review counts or customer numbers we can’t verify. Phantom Protocol is Privacy Devices’ own software, so it is genuinely exclusive to our devices.

Express shipping
Same-day dispatch on orders placed before the daily cutoff, sent tracked via Australian Express Post. International couriered to 170+ countries.

GrapheneOS expertise
We do one thing: prepare GrapheneOS Pixels properly — verified boot relocked, profiles compartmentalised, AU banking apps tested before it ships.
Executive travel
Built for people who cross borders. Phantom Protocol — duress PIN, remote wipe, decoy profile, rapid lockdown — comes configured and armed.
Which should you choose?
Choose PrivacyPros if…
You want a single supplier for a whole stack of gear and, after confirming the five points above, PrivacyPros’ range and terms suit that better. If you’re buying an ecosystem rather than a phone, a one-stop catalogue can make sense.
Choose Privacy Devices if…
The phone is the thing you need to get right, and you want it delivered finished — Phantom Protocol armed, VPN, eSIM and Threema bundled, banking apps tested, same-day Australian dispatch, a 12-month warranty, executive-travel hardening and Bitcoin payment.

Privacy Devices vs PrivacyPros — FAQ
How does Privacy Devices compare to PrivacyPros?
Both serve the Australian privacy market. Privacy Devices focuses specifically on the phone and ships every order with Phantom Protocol armed (duress PIN, remote wipe, decoy profile, rapid lockdown), plus a 12-month Mullvad VPN, a global eSIM and a Threema licence as standard, dispatched same-day from Australia with a 12-month warranty. Confirm PrivacyPros’ current phone offering directly with them and compare like for like.
Is a wider product range better for a privacy phone?
A wide catalogue helps if you’re buying a whole setup, but it doesn’t tell you how well the phone itself is configured. Judge the device on its security layer, bundled software, dispatch, warranty and payment options — those determine whether it does its job when it counts.
Do both use the same GrapheneOS?
Yes. GrapheneOS is a single open-source project, identical no matter who installs it. The differences between vendors are in configuration, bundled software, dispatch, warranty and payment, which is what this page compares.
Can I pay with Bitcoin?
Yes. Privacy Devices accepts Bitcoin and Lightning through a self-hosted, non-custodial BTCPay Server, plus Visa, Mastercard and Amex via Stripe. Bitcoin lets you order with minimal personal information.
Where does Privacy Devices ship from, and how fast?
From Australia. Privacy Devices is an ABN-registered Australian business (ABN 35 942 206 406) offering same-day dispatch on orders before the daily cutoff via Australian Express Post, and tracked international courier to 170+ countries.
