Initial focus for our partnership with Motorola is a regular non-folding device

A non-folder with a stylus option, an audio jack, microSD card slot and USB-C 3.2+ would be swell. In other words... a beefed-up update of the 2026 Motorola Moto G Stylus [1]. ;)

This is a relief to hear.

Also this is great unless Motorola is comprimised.

    Motorola is doing a large portion of the work of porting GrapheneOS to their devices. They'll provide us with what we need for firmware/drivers in the form we need it and it will be far easier than Pixels. We'll be able to get issues in the firmware and drivers fixed through Motorola and Qualcomm.

$950 Signature (was not sold in US.)

This is not the Motorola (USA) that many of us knew for ages. That company doesn't exist any more.

The company working with GrapheneOS appears to be Motorola Mobility, owned by Lenovo (China).

I hope they try to bring Graphene OS to Motorola's mid-range devices, like the Moto G.

For me the reason why this is a big deal is because, before there was any Motorola upcoming Graphene-compatible model, most people that might be installing Graphene would not trust Google with their phone software, to then go ahead and install Graphene in Google's hardware! A bit of a contradiction there.

This is great, I'll hopefully get one as my next phone when my Pixel 7 Pro dies.

I think the feature we all want in light of this is a simple backup+restore which uses a users SSHD server somewhere so you can wipe completely before travelling and then restore completely when safe again.

Would obviously want it to also backup/restore esim's...

Hopefully it will come to the razr line

I recently heard Motorola is also a direct competitor with Flock... Couldn't this potentially be a conflict of interest / purpose?

This makes me curious to move off of ios.

The question is whether the new gen Snapdragon Elite SoCs will finally support non-protected KVM? That would make native "linux terminal" (which has GUI support) work.. so far Qualcomm is the only flagship vendor that doesn't support it. And this feature currently works with pixels, hopefully it doesn't stop working with Motorola Signature.

> Supporting a flip device with vertical folding would be a new form factor for GrapheneOS. The main use case for those is a tiny phone to use with one hand in the folded form factor.

So, I've been using flip phones now exclusively since the Samsung Z-Flip3 (and will never go back to slab phones unless the flip segment disappears), but I almost never use the outer screen. Maybe that is just me, but I have a feeling it's pretty common.

Looking forward to it. I will buy it right away.

Good. Would rather have a strong basic phone without flaky gimmicks.

I'm fairly ignorant as to whether Motorola, as a company, will make a good steward for this kind of arrangement.

Does anybody have any inside baseball to share in terms of whether we can trust this arrangement to last longer than, say, a year?

Let's do a nice candybar. I'll buy it.
