# Supported devices + Why Google Pixel? ### Supported Devices Castrum OS is currently supported on selected Google Pixel devices: * Pixel 6 / 6a / 6 Pro * Pixel 7 / 7a / 7 Pro * Pixel 8 / 8a / 8 Pro * Pixel 9 / 9a / 9 Pro / 9 Pro XL Support is limited to devices that meet Castrum OS security and hardware requirements. *** ### Why Google Pixel? Castrum OS is built **exclusively** for Google Pixel devices due to their unmatched security architecture and system-level flexibility. Google Pixel is currently the only Android platform that allows deep system hardening while maintaining full hardware-backed security. Key reasons include: * **Unlockable bootloader with secure re-locking**\ Allows installation of a custom operating system while preserving verified boot. * **Titan M2 security chip**\ Provides hardware-backed encryption, secure key storage, and verified boot integrity. * **Long-term firmware and security updates**\ Reliable update cadence and publicly documented security architecture. * **Built-in eSIM support**\ Ready for global connectivity and seamless integration with Conectum services. * **Full hardware-level control**\ Enables secure handling of modem, Wi-Fi, and system partitions. These capabilities make Google Pixel the only viable platform for delivering a hardened mobile operating system without compromising security guarantees. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
