A searchable database of phones that run without Google services, with prices, specifications, operating systems, and US availability information.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-17 issue.

For: US buyers comparing phones without Google
Worth noticing: The homepage lists 66 phones across 12 operating systems and says each entry has a last-checked date and source links.

Field notes

The catalog divides phones into several practical routes, including installing a non-Google system yourself, choosing a phone sold without Google, or opting for a minimalist device. Its operating-system comparison names app compatibility, Google services, app stores, and whether each project is still maintained as comparison points. The homepage also links buying research to guides on app stores and developer verification.
