What

What is Black and White?

Send us money, we get you a phone, build it into a privacy and security monster ready to take on the new world of the surveillance state, send it to you, and then forget you ever existed (unless you reach out for customer support).

That’s it.

We build using great condition or better graded Google Pixel devices, modify the software significantly, and pre-configure (if desired) the settings and preferences for the client.

Features right out of the box include but are not limited to:

  • Significantly hardened security over any out of the box smartphone.
  • Duress Password: Entering the Duress/Emergency password at the unlock screen will trigger a full device and E-SIM wipe. Once initiated, it can not be stopped. The phone’s screen will turn black, and in about 5-10 seconds, the contents are forensically and permanently deleted.
  • Location Services and Telemetry disabled and blocked by default.
  • Always On VPN with Killswitch
  • IMEI disconnect: Every cell phone uses an individual identifier to connect to it’s SIM. Financial ties to the purchase of your device can compromise your privacy. We don’t retain customer information, so the trail of IMEI ownership is broken.
  • Open Source Camera Application that does not attach any metadata whatsoever, including but not limited to revealing details such as location, lens type, phone type, etc.

We do provide extensive documentation included, and we do respond and help with tech support inquiries.

We support and produce modified Google Pixel 8, 8 Pro, 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 pro XL.

That being said, we highly recommend the Pixel 8. It is the cheapest, it has all the features you’d want in a modern phone, and is supported until 2030 with development and security fixes.
