We’re happy to announce a long-term partnership with Motorola. We’re collaborating on future devices meeting our privacy and security standards with official GrapheneOS support.

Anyone know why graphene needs such high specs? It doesn’t make sense to me that a less bloated OS would need better specs.
They need several years of updates for firmware, baseband radios etc from the OEM, They also need a robust secure element, this is why spec requirements are as they are. Mainly for the end user’s security & privacy can’t have privacy without actual security.
I very seriously doubt this happens, but it would be incredibly amazing if it was the Moto G line of devices. Absolute premium specs are not needed to get a great experience on operating systems that don’t have Google spy services.
When GOS first announced this several months ago, they also announced it would be a flagship chipset. Plus Motorola will be losing a lot of money by opting out of data mining. So I expect it will be expensive.
Nice to have options but I expect I’ll be sticking to Pixels.
Yeah, I was talking with somebody about it, and they think it will be a device that will cost something like 3.3 Monero. That’s a lot more than I want to spend considering I can get a pixel A series for something like 1.5 Monero, or if I don’t want to go with graphene, I can get the Motorola Moto G 2024 and put Lineage OS on it for like 0.4 Monero.
