We're happy to announce a long-term partnership with Motorola.

[lunareclipse@snug.moe]

@a53bdb @GrapheneOS realistically whichever manufacturer has longer software support and easier to get repair parts is what I would go for.

[alexia@shrimp.starlightnet.work]

@skywalker2k17 @GrapheneOS

From what I've heard none of the 2026 devices from Moto made the cut.

@lunareclipse@snug.moe @GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social @a53bdb@mastodon.social at least the CCP won't send drone strikes after you

[mgorny@social.treehouse.systems]

@GrapheneOS, funny enough, I've just switched from Motorola to Pixels last year because their successive phones were becoming more and more crap, and on the models I've gotten LineageOS barely worked (like, to the point that you had to reboot the phone after every call). Hopefully direct GrapheneOS support will change that.

[lumi@snug.moe]

@GrapheneOS does this mean i will be able to get a degoogled motorola device in the future?

[alexia@shrimp.starlightnet.work]

@normjess @GrapheneOS ...first off, their shtick is security. That often leads to privacy but primarily their shtick is security.

second off, that's an enterprise product you'll probably not touch anyways. why do you care?

[alexia@shrimp.starlightnet.work]

@lumi @GrapheneOS

TL;DR: Yes.

[da_habakuk@fosstodon.org]

@GrapheneOS @debacle hopefully with better longterm updates than current motorola phones... then im in!

[alexia@shrimp.starlightnet.work]

@lumi @GrapheneOS

Well, as degoogled as using an OS maintained by Google gets

[sh@fed.hayfidelity.de]

@GrapheneOS Aaand Motorola is back on the map. Interesting project, I guess it brings #grapheneos a huge step forward.

[grapheneos@grapheneos.social]

@da_habakuk @debacle Motorola Signature (2026) already has a 7 year update commitment but doesn't quite meet our requirements yet. The future devices with GrapheneOS support will be even better than the improvements they already made for their 2026 flagships.

[lumi@snug.moe]

@alexia @GrapheneOS yeah, ofc the end goal is using a proper linux phone, to get maximal freedom and security

but having a degoogled android device is a step along the way. though i have been stuck at that step since around 2014

[joonq@mastodon.social]

@a53bdb @GrapheneOS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenovo but its chinese-american not chinese.

[bolomkxxviii@mastodon.social]

@GrapheneOS
As I understand the article, this will be aimed at corporate customers. I am hoping they will also sell to individuals and that the non-corporate customers will not have the analytics feature or it can be turned off. Motorola's problem has always been OS support. If GrapheneOS is handling support, it is a win for everyone.

[katzenberger@tldr.nettime.org]

@GrapheneOS

Good news. Can you at least reveal whether some of the devices will be at the lower end of the price range, like e.g. the "…a" Pixels?

[grapheneos@grapheneos.social]

@BoloMKXXVIII Devices with official GrapheneOS support will be available to individuals. Look at the Motorola Signature (2026) which was close to meeting our requirements but not quite there yet. Motorola Razr Fold (2026) is another example. It has to be 2027 because not everything was ready yet and a lot of work is needed on support for GrapheneOS too.

[normjess@tech.lgbt]

@alexia @GrapheneOS
because shit trickles down

because back doors rarely stop at enterprise use

because I instinctively want to protect people not companies

its one comment. why do you care?

[grapheneos@grapheneos.social]

@katzenberger It will start with flagship devices but their flagships tend to be priced cheaper than flagship Pixels. More devices will be supported over time. It should be expected it will start with only flagships though. Look at the Motorola Signature (2026) and Motorola Razr Fold (2026) for an idea of the kind of future devices it would start out supporting.

@GrapheneOS

[jgoodleaf@mstdn.social]

@GrapheneOS @da_habakuk @debacle And the Signature looks like a nice phone. I would love to carry a 2027 Signature with Graphene.
