I don’t trust Motorola to make a phone that doesn’t have numerous hardware backdoors. Motorola does a ton of work for both the US and Israel. If it sounds too good to be true than it probably is. I think the US/Israel gave Motorola a bit of cash to make backdoored hardware that’s made specifically for a privacy hardened software.
Afaik GrapheneOS won’t be affected, neither will e/OS. The real problem with them still being based as AOSP is, that google might stop the AOSP project. That would mean the forks would need to do that continous based development themselves.
This is why I’m happy about Motorola next year
With some luck I’ll have time to put together my diy palmtop-esque machine, but we’ll see if that works out.
I really hope the Motorola thing actually pans out. Based on the general state of things I’m done with both Apple and Google.
Same here. And its not like we are overwhelmed with alternatives, too.
Things have taken quite the turn from the nexus era to now, dropping nexus for pixel felt so blatant too.
What about Motorola? 😯
They are going to start loading GrapheneOS on phones from the start
Fantastic! Thanks for explaining 🙏
Yeah same, I have no idea what’s happening with Motorola…
They are partnering with GrapheneOS

Google is more likely to do that than Motorola, a Chinese company
I got a reply clarifying that theyre partnering with graphene. I figured I’d reply so you didn’t miss it in the thread
What is the Motorola thinf being referred to here?

I searched for statements from GOS and e/OS and what I found tells a different story

Do you have different information?
For anyone who hasn’t heard, Motorola is partnering with GrapheneOS to release compatible phones in 2027.
