It comes with the E Foundation's privacy-focused /e/OS pre-installed: https://e.foundation/e-os/
/e/OS is a deGoogled Android that ships with replacement apps for all of Google's apps: https://peer.tube/videos/watch/ba3c848a-0ddd-4dca-bbbe-6a6f9ebed43c
Murena, who makes the phone, offers a hosted version of Nextcloud plus email hosting, which replaces Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, and Google Docs: https://murena.com/workspace/
(I already have my own Nextcloud account and email, so I'll use that instead.)
Murena also operates a SearXNG ( https://searx.space/ ) instance called Spot ( https://spot.murena.io/ ).
(SearXNG is an ad-free meta search engine that anonymously displays results from multiple search engines.)
The pros is that it appears to be a good option for deGoogled Android and Google replacement that "just works".
It's less locked down than a security-focused non-Google Android like GrapheneOS.
Downsides are that it's a big upfront cost to get an unlocked phone shipped from overseas.
Unfortunately, no Australian carriers offers it on a plan.
The upshot is that you're not locked into a particular carrier.
