Motorola announces a partnership with GrapheneOS Foundation, marking a new chapter in smartphone security
Good News. I'm in.As is well known, Google wants to ban the (EDITED: APK sideloading) of “third-party” apps on Android. Since Android does not belong to Google, this is yet another imperial asshole move, but it strengthens truly free Androids such as Graphene OS. I have been using Graphene OS for a long time and it is just what a smartphone should be, namely my own.
It's now very easy to install Graphene OS on a standard Pixel phone, but that puts most people off. Maybe it will soon be available as a normal phone from Motorola. As I know the Graphene OS community, they don't like to compromise. I would buy it. Definitely!

Full sideloading and user control will remain intact under GrapheneOS.

@reverend There exist other models lok temu mobile linux phones or Pad's whatever since a long time, but one with Graphene OS not which is the best in my opinion of FOSS and privacy OS on a mobile, now with this you can sideload your banking app etc. Only catch is the price of such device as all other existent with another OS are not chap at all.
