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.
If Motorola is willing to have a non-shitty operating system, why can’t they just put a non-shitty operating system on at the factory? All the stock Android OS I’ve seen lately, including Motorola’s, are crappy, have privacy settings disabled, and in many cases are full of unremovable malware.
It’s great to see a mainstream OEM work with GOS. I really hope Motorola will make phones with an actual headphone jack. That’s my no. 1 complaint about modern Pixel hardware.
I would like it even more to see that working on a Xiaomi or Samsung
why in the thumbnail is it neither org’s logos?
I sense Motorolas authentic belief in me as our pact is formed…
BOND RANK LEVEL 1 LEARNED PIXEL DEFOCUS YOU CAN NOW STUDY THE MOTOROLA ARCHETYPE IN AKADEMIA
Tbh, not a huge fan of the pick. I had various Motorola Droid phones for years before switching to Samsung. All of the Droids were horribly underpowered after 2 years and the batteries only had 1/2 of their original capacity by that point. Then I got a Samsung S10e and it lasted 5+ years.
I seriously hope Motorola has gotten rid of their planned obsolescence policy in the past few years. It’s nice that there’s going to be a second vendor option for GrapheneOS soon, but I wish it was a better vendor
what would you consider a better vendor? samsung, xiaomi, oneplus? those all have been plenting more and more malware into their phones from the factory, sometimes making it seem like a feature, and recently they started to bar owners from replacing the OS on it by taking away the option to unlock the bootloader
hmd global / nokia might have been a good option
Sounds like a good choice. Motorola has some very good budget phones and also good high-end phones. All running pretty clean versions of Android. I hope GrapheneOS will support both a flagship (or midrange) and a budget phone.
This is hilarious to me because other than a Samsung once (which made me go back) I had only moto… Until when I finally upgraded I wanted grapheneOS so pixel it was. Very happy about this.
Motorola had made several classic phones.I hope this will be their true comeback.
This isn’t that Motorola. This is the Chinese zombie brand Motorola.
i would liked xiomi more but more Hardware is better than only google
Amen! I was using a note 13pro until all the carriers in the United States blocked it the month that Trump took office.
Haven’t had a Motorola in many years. Hopefully this works out well and we get a really nice piece of hardware that isn’t subject to the whims of Google.
I remember having a motorola razr when i was younger. Loved the design
It’s a Motorola. Supposed to be the best.
that and Wabistics, if i here you mention anything else but Wabistics…
Except the tumor below the flip
Man I can’t WAIT. Next up: Fairphone
I Fucking love Motorola, I’m cumming as I’m reading this. Thank you Motorola.
Same. I don’t think I could use a phone without the chop to turn on flashlight thing.
At first I though the chop was so useless but I use it all the time now, lol.
Everybody is always amazed when I do it while they’re still stumbling around looking for their flashlight toggle lol
The new phone is going to be called the Motorola Jizzr
