GrapheneOS Motorola phones will cost more than Pixels
Android Authority • • technology
Key Points:
- GrapheneOS plans to expand support to Motorola phones starting in 2027, focusing initially on high-end flagship models that will be priced higher than Google Pixel devices.
- The project is prioritizing flagship devices because they have the necessary hardware security features and long-term software support, which lower-end Qualcomm chipsets currently lack.
- Lower-end Motorola phones will take longer to qualify for GrapheneOS as Qualcomm needs to improve security and software support, and Motorola may need to invest in extended support for these devices.
- GrapheneOS aims to synchronize its Motorola builds with major Android releases by hosting and maintaining its own AOSP Git repositories to ensure timely updates.
- Specific Motorola models to receive GrapheneOS support have not been announced, but the initial offerings will be premium devices rather than affordable alternatives.
