This genuinely so fucking smart from Motorola. Whomever is greenlighting this needs major kudos. We’re in a world where everyone wants to move away from US technology now and Google/Apple have monopolized the market. Motorola is making this move RIGHT when everywhere else is going “Is there literally nothing else we can use???” Good play esp as they need to up the specs on a new device to handle Graphene. I am looking forward to seeing what they come up with.
I’m very confused this news. Reddit sub said it wasn’t Motorola. This post claimed it’s Motorola.
The Motorola mobile brand is owned by Lenovo. So it’s basically that.
Lenovo is based.
The same Lenovo that shipped laptops with a malicious root certificate preinstalled?
It will be great if this reaches the Moto G series. I’m sure the Fairphone is nice but it’s 4x as expensive–no thanks.
My guess is, that they will offer a new Thinkphone model with GraphenOS to target business customers.
But of course I don’t know it, just guessing.
Twinkphone will require socks.
While I’m happy that it’s Motorola, i just wish someone like Fairphone also bites the bullet of investing in a proper encryption chip that’s acceptable to Grapheneos. I’d like to see more or a trifecta (duofecta?) of trustworthy OS and sustainable/committed manufacturer.
Fairphone does partner with Murena for e/os. It’s pretty similar to grapheoneOS
I wouldn’t say that it’s pretty similar.
They have rather different goals and feature sets.
