Not available in Canada?? Disappointing
I purchased a Brax degoogled phone approximately 5 years ago. A Motorola G5.
It has been excellent and still works well. I am in Australia. Does the new Brax phone operate in Australia. We use GSM.
Would like to upgrade.

Hey there, is there any hope for Canadians ? will these de goggled phones come to this country? mike
Hi Mike,
It is tough to tell. It will depend on the strategy of each manufacturer.
Hello I am enquiring from Australia also, I would like to know how this phone, BraX2, would work here?
Hello,
I have no way of confirming, but I expect that it will work if your carrier runs a 4G LTE network.
