HardToCrack policy
We select for security, not generations.
HardToCrack does not add a device simply because it is the newest. We offer it only when it meets our standards for official GrapheneOS compatibility, memory protection, security architecture, long-term support, stability and value relative to real needs.
Our catalogue can evolve as new manufacturers and devices meet those standards. This allows us to add future compatible platforms without tying the HardToCrack brand to Google Pixel.
Why don’t we currently offer Pixel 11?The Pixel 11 series is not part of our selection while it falls short of the memory protection and hardware security standards we require. GrapheneOS has specifically warned that this generation lacks ARM MTE support and currently recommends Pixel 8, 9 and 10 over Pixel 11. If the technical conditions change, HardToCrack will review its decision based on technical evidence, not product marketing.

Frequently asked questions
Answers before you decide.
Compatibility and conditions are reviewed before accepting any device.
No. HardToCrack works with devices that meet GrapheneOS technical requirements and our internal security standards. Today our commercial selection focuses on Pixel 8a, 9a, 10a and 10 Pro, but the catalogue can evolve as new manufacturers become compatible.
Being the latest generation is not enough. GrapheneOS has warned that Pixel 11 lacks ARM MTE support and recommends generations 8, 9 and 10. HardToCrack will review the situation if the technical conditions change.
Yes, provided the model is officially compatible and the device’s condition allows us to perform the service. We confirm this before shipping.
Not necessarily. Hardware and preparation may be listed separately so it is clear what you are paying for.
No. We can deliver the device installed and configured according to your chosen package, with the relevant support and documentation.
