The Above Phone is designed to protect you from the three layers of mobile tracking. This includes telecom data collection of our phone calls and texts, the operating system, and the apps that we use. The Above Phone protects you by shifting to internet based communications, using open source operating systems with no corporate attachments, and free & open source apps without any trackers.

Yes, your favorite apps are available and can be used on the Above Phone. However apps with reliance on big tech services like Google Services may not work out of the box. These are typically big tech apps like Uber(TM), Lyft(TM), AirBnb(TM), and banking apps. You can then isolate these apps and Google Services in a sandbox, to protect the data on the rest of your phone. Its like having two phones in one. And of course you can also visit the websites of the services you need.

One thing to note is that graphic intensive games have a hard time running on the Above Phone due to increased security & performance demands.

You can get applications on your phones with the following alternative open-source application stores, you can preview these apps on your current Android device.

Each device has a different support period based on Google’s official schedule, check devices here.

Both Google and the developers of the alternative operating system provide updates to the phone. Google provides updates for the drivers, firmware, and bootloader. They also provide security updates to the operating system which are implemented by the developers of the alternate operating systems.

When Google’s official support period ends,you will only continue to get updates from the developers of the alternative operating system. This includes all the open-source components of the phone including the kernel and operating system.

After the support period ends your degoogled phone will continue to work at full functionality.
