Your phone is sharing more personal information than you think

Smartphones are more than just communication tools—they’re also spying devices. They collect tons of data, like your location, browsing history, and even access to your contacts and microphone. This information gets collected, categorized, and resold, helping organizations build detailed digital profiles about you.

The trend with newer smartphone models indicates that user privacy protection is unlikely to improve. The integration of advanced Artificial Intelligence will enable these devices to process personal data faster and more efficiently, resulting in a more accurate data-rich digital profile of each user.

The BraX3 lets you enjoy all your favorite Android apps without sacrificing privacy. Stay productive, keep up with the news, stream media, chat with friends, and share
files—all while keeping your data private and secure.

All orders during our IndieGoGo campaign will include a BraX3 device with iodéOS premium features for life. iodéOS premium features include advanced adblocking, network blocking, adult content blocking, unethical social media blocking, and parental control.

The BraX3 will work with any telco in the world as long as:

• The telco uses 4G or 5G frequency bands supported by BraX3
• The telco doesn’t have a special device approval process

Software support

BraX3 will offer long-term support and security, with major Android OS updates and security patches guaranteed until at least 2030. This commitment ensures that your device stays up-to-date, secure, and fully functional for years to come.

As an open platform, BraX3’s AOSP (Android Open Source Project) code will be shared with developers of other custom ROM projects. This means that developers who wish to port their custom ROM to BraX3 will have access to the resources they need to make it happen. We believe that every custom ROM project contributes to the collective mission of enhancing privacy in mobile technology, and we’re excited to collaborate with the open-source community to support these efforts.

Continuous hardware support

The BraX3 is modularly designed so that you the consumer can replace parts by yourself with standard tools. To help you keep your BraX3 for years, we’re committing to provide spare parts for at least six years after launch. Alongside this, we’ll share detailed repair guides, diagrams, and technical documentation so you can easily repair your device yourself or with a trusted provider. With BraX3, you’re investing in a phone built for longevity and true ownership.

The open-source movement champions collaboration, innovation, and freedom from proprietary restrictions. In that spirit, the BraX3’s “see-through” design symbolizes a shift toward tech that is honest, instead of hidden and obscure.

It’s a reminder that technology can be both powerful and transparent, empowering people to understand and trust the products they rely on to store their personal data.

The design of BraX3, with its transparent backplate, is a tribute to the open-source movement—a commitment to transparency, accessibility, and trust.

Bringing BraX3 to life

Over two years ago, we launched BraX2, a smartphone that took a stand for user privacy in a world dominated by invasive data practices. The response was inspiring, confirming that people are eager for technology that prioritizes their privacy. But we knew we could do better and go further. 

With BraX3, we’ve taken everything we learned from BraX2 and pushed it to the next level. Our motivation remains the same: to create a smartphone that empowers users with complete control over their data. In a landscape where new devices increasingly prioritize profit over privacy, BraX3 was designed to be the opposite—a truly privacy-friendly smartphone that’s honest, easy to use, and affordable for most. 

BraX3 is more than just a phone; it’s a statement. It represents our commitment to digital freedom and the belief that privacy should be accessible to everyone, not just those who can afford high-end alternatives. We’re excited to share BraX3 with the world and to offer a solution that puts users back in control of their own digital lives.

Risk and challenges

As with any technology project, there is always a risk of delays or unforeseen challenges. However, the risks associated with the BraX3 project are minimal. This isn’t our first launch—we successfully introduced BraX2 over two years ago, and our experience has prepared us well. Additionally, our manufacturing partner, Lunr, brings over 15 years of expertise in developing and manufacturing mobile products, ensuring a high level of reliability.

We’ve already done all pre-production tests and we have validated a pre-production sample of BraX3, which greatly reduces the likelihood of delays. However, some factors beyond our control—such as supply chain issues or force majeure events—could still impact delivery timelines.

If any unexpected developments arise, we’re committed to keeping you informed and will communicate promptly about any potential delays.
