Fucking finally. The only reason I couldn’t get my hands on GrapheneOS is due to having to buy a Pixel which, wherever I look, would be around $400-$500 for something that they themselves admit would likely only get around 7 years of support.
I can’t spend that kind of money right now. I need something below $300 and if possible, below $200.
Anything but a mainstream brand!
Pixels are stupid for GOS since the HW is mid at best and overpriced. If you are buying a phone to flash it anyway, the decision should be made only on hardware (and ability to flash)
yay! i have a motorola phone hopefully i will be able to install grapheneOS on it some day. though for some stupid government/banking apps i’ll probably need a secondary, crappier phone with the usual spyware on it. i really hope that they make grapheneOS available for already purchased Motorola phones.
edit: from what i see it looks like it’s probably gonna be for newer devices, and that is very sad, as i’m only gonna buy a new phone in like 3 to 4 years. Anyway, at least motorola has pretty good hardware and ok prices. Wait, do newer motorola phones come with a headphone jack? my Moto G55 has a headphone jack.
https://keepandroidopen.org/ <- offtopic with the post, but i’m just leaving this here in case someone hasn’t seen it.
My 2021 Moto edge does not have a head phone jack.
My Motorola phone was released in 2024 and has a headphone jack, so maybe it’s just some of their models that don’t have them. I just looked up a more recent 2025 model (Moto G 5G) and it also has a 3.5mm jack, so it looks like Motorola will keep having headphone jacks, hopefully this is the case as I don’t like having to charge my headphones.
Called it.
same.
it’s about market share and money.
This site is a (possibly AI) content mill. The sources are all circular.
It probably isn’t Motorola.Edited, see comment for clarifications…

GrapheneOS was contacted by one of the largest Android OEMs in June 2025 and we’re actively working with them. They’re going to be announcing our partnership in March 2026 and the phones meeting our requirements with official GrapheneOS support are scheduled for 2027.
Xiaomi, Huawei, Honor, and Vivo are all larger OEMs than Motorola.

We never ruled out working with Motorola, Samsung, Nothing, OnePlus, etc. We said none of their current devices meet our requirements which remains the case for all of them. Only future devices from our OEM partner can be supported and it’s going to take time to meet all of the update and security feature requirements. It’s planned for 2027 but we aren’t sure when in 2027 the devices will be launched. There’s a lot of work to get done on updates, MTE, etc. before then.
That sucks because Motorola actually is great at hardware
I would love something with a good camera (sensor & (zoom) optics).
one of the largest
The source is not this publication, the source is Motorola, as posted by a user on Reddit.
True. They are 11th or 12th so that is one of the largest.
I just meant they for the other comments just reference themselves.
Anyway, it would be neat to have more options and this isn’t the first time it has been brought up

That’s good news. I hope it’s a budget device with a plastic case, SD card, IR emitter, notification LED, and headphone jack.
And a user replaceable battery!
I’d rather have it be a bit more mid to upper range, I want a nice processor and decent cameras
I don’t have any use for a “nice processor”. I have a basic one and I don’t have any problems with it.
As for cameras, I think it’s pretty clear at this point that it’s all about the software. The Pixel was winning blind smartphone camera tests with >10 y/o sensors.
The sensor size also plays a part, the pro has a pretty large sensor for a phone.
e-ink screen! i adored the motorola-f3 with the led segment screen
nothing is confirmed here, chill with the high-fives
Omgomgomg that’s amazing news!
Damn, that’s surprising. Motorola has never been known for a strong update policy, and having a good update schedule is one of the key requirements for GOS. I hope they are addressing this issue.
I think this is exactly the win-win situation from this possible partnership: Motorola makes secure hardware and firmware patches, GrapheneOS takes care of the whole software security and timely updates (they already do).
I mean it seems like a no-brainer for OEMs. You can just turn over all your software development to a 3rd party, for free.
I wish they would support the fairphone.
I suppose it would be a good candidate for that.
Same it feels like they’d make a really good match
Razr+ please.
I hope this will also be good for affordability and we’ll get GrapheneOS on more downmarket devices.
Lenovo*
Motorola does not have a mobile phone business, Google absorbed that ages ago. The brand and only the brand was sold to Lenovo.
Is that thumbnail ai generated?
The logos look weird.You didn’t know that GrapheneOS is diversifying by also deciding to start manufacturing footballs (soccer for our American friends)?
Where can i get a football that the NSA cant crack?
The GrapheneOS logo looks like drawn by someone who remembers what does it look like but not what it represents.
oh i see.
It’s possible they are updating the logo in light of the partnership?
nope, i checked Wikipedia
Definitely, both are close but obviously wrong.
Looks like shitty photoshop of stock images to me.
Hello Moto
