Samsung Galaxy TAB S5e DeGoogled tablet
A DeGoogled version of the Samsung Galaxy TAB S5e tablet. For those wishing for something more substantial than a phone but less bulky than a laptop.
As an all-round tablet, the S5e is hard to beat. It's a delight to use, is only 5.5mm thick and is a great spec tablet with WiFi and has expandable memory with space for a MicroSD card.

What is it like to own a De-Googled tablet?
De-Googled tablets are given a fresh new Android operating system that looks and functions the same way as any other Android tab, just without anything invasive.
All of our DeGoogled tablets are installed with alternative apps to the ones you usually use. So, instead of Google Maps, you will find Magic Earth. Instead of YouTube, you will find NewPipe. Instead of Google Play store, you will find F-Droid and Aurora store etc... Whatever you will likely need, we've got you covered!
A game-changing feature of our eOS based phones is the addition of the Shelter Work profile.
With Shelter, you can essentially split your tablet in two and utilise this additional profile to install any big brother apps you may find difficult doing without.
This work profile allows you to use tracker filled apps in a heavily locked down state with curtailed permissions and an inability to snoop on your personal profile.
Once you have experienced the quietness, the lack of pushy notifications, unwanted apps that cannot be uninstalled and the simplicity of owning a DeGoogled tablets, you'll never want to go back!
Another benefit of owning a DeGoogled tablet is usually superior battery life and performance too!

For your peace of mind
What apps can I install on my DeGoogled tablet?
It's important to understand that your De-Googled tablet has been stripped of the software that has the ability to spy on you or intrude on your privacy. This means Apps like WhatsApp, Google Maps, Facebook and Instagram are not present on a DeGoogled tablet, nor should they be added to one.
Although you can add any Android compatible apps to this tablet, understand you start to compromise your privacy again if you start adding mainstream apps loaded with trackers.
With this in mind, we do include 4 privacy apps that still allow you to interact with Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Reddit without needing the official app.
What condition is this tablet in?
For these Galaxy S5e Degoogled tablets, we utilise refurbished units.
For our refurbished tablets, we work hard to ensure we always source the highest quality that are Grade A or better condition, from reputable refurbishing specialists.
Although we strive for as close to perfect as we can source in any given moment, they are not brand-new tablets and some will have minor use marks and will not always come with the original box and all of the accessories. They will always come with at least a charging cable.

Open-Source software note
These DeGoogled operating systems are crafted by a group of privacy-conscious developers. It's important to note that as free, open-source software, it may not have the same level of refinement and seamless operation as operating systems developed by big tech companies such as Samsung.
They usually operate seamlessly and are as highly functional and dependable as you would expect, but we kindly request that you keep this in mind when purchasing your device, as there is a slight possibility that the software may, on very rare occasions, encounter minor glitches.
While these issues are rare and unlikely to cause any significant inconvenience, they may appear somewhat unpolished if they happen.
