We need CHEAPER GrapheneOS phones, not more expensive!
No I want flagship
Me too, but sure when it’s profitable for them they coud very well release more affordable devices too.
If I’m reading the thread correctly, it seems to be Qualcomm that’s gating the security features GOS requires in high end SoCs.
I guess Im the only one who would prefer cheaper phones. Midrange with a jack is far more appealing to me than some flagship.
I think, they reason they did this is because the only chip rn beside tensor that is compliant with what standards graphene has is 8 elite gen 5.
Totally with you. For me a perfect phone consists of:
- Big Ass Battery (BAB) (Also make it changeable, so i can bring one with me and “charge” it in a second)
- Headphone Jack
- USB-C (Obviously)
- 60Hz Display (Once you look at 120Hz you can never go back so I dont want to, also it drains battery)
- microSD-Card (You can change, maybe with support to up to 1 TB just for funsies)
- 4G (It is more than enough. 5G also drains your battery)
- One Camera (Honestly still not over how goofy those 2+ camera sets look, they are even on cheaper phones nowadays)
- Latest Security Patches
- Normal sized and light (Have to be able to reach the top with one hand.)
I just want phones to last longer than a day again :(
I disagree with this one
4G (It is more than enough. 5G also drains your battery)
You’ll need to upgrade again if/when the network support changes. I’d prefer that it was future proofed
I do not worry about that: I live in Germany. I’ll be long dead before anything changes around here 👍
You will never get a phone likes this.
…Unless you go for Fairphone 6 Plus.
There are multiple points which the FP6+ does not meet.
Way to ruin somebodies hopes and dreams. :(((
Have the Pixel 3A which gets pretty close. Does not have swappable Storage and only the latest security patches as there are still, what feels like, two random people backporting security patches as its not officially supported by LineageOS. Not sure how long that will last.
Sorry I meant as a new phone
Yeah, especially for modern phones. What good does the more powerful hardware do me? I don’t do anything on my phone where I need more processing power. A higher quality screen is nice, but all modern phones have screens that are of a high enough resolution to not matter. Just give it a larger battery and I’m good.
That seems concerning, considering I haven’t seen Motorola make a “flagship” phone in years, and the newest Pixel historically hasn’t exactly been a “cheap” phone (like Motorola normally makes). It seems like they are just prepping the public for it to be scary expensive. :/

don’t they have their signature series,
I am using a Moto Razr 50u flip, and the have Fold phones as well.
let down by the years of support. I am. surprised Google. doesn’t lean on them. about no Graphene phones though
Exactly. They need to make it cheaper so it becomes popular first, not prepare us for shocking price.
bad news is lenovo overprices phones. good news is most of them get cheap fast cause noone buys them.
The only bad news - none of them are sold in US - otherwise I would buy it
So they are preparing us to pay higher prices than one of the most popular phone companies flagship phones? Sounds like it’s already bound to fail. Not many people are willing to pay more while they can get pixel for less and flash grapheneos.
Eh ill do it. Fuck google
I’ll do it years from now after my Pixel 8 isn’t viable anymore, I already own it anyways.
Honestly, yeah. I’m down. As long as it’s good quality.
It will be motorolla quality. So not bad I think

Im not going to be able to get friends and family to make the switch then. My next device will probably be another refurbished Pixel.
Take the AI out of a pixel and what have we got? A secure mid range phone.
What is this going to do better than a flagship?
Yeah but pixels are actively fucking with sources for pixels now.
You also can’t trust Google not backdooring hardware.
Im OOTL on this one. Am I reading this right; GraphineOS is pushing out their own devices, pre-loaded with GraphineOS? Or just ‘GraphineOS ready’ devices, with some generic Android preinstalled?
They’ve partnered with Motorola to make phones officially compatible with GrapheneOS, we apparently don’t know yet if the phones will come preinstalled with it tho
The upcoming Moto devices won’t ship with GrapheneOS, but they will be fully supported by the project with help from Moto itself.
That’s going to last all of 8 months, I bet.
Yes, they’re partnering with Motorola I believe to bring devices that come with Graphene out of the box
Cautiously optimistic. I can sense a faint glow radiating off of those phones. Or I might just be imagining things…
Good news
Yeah I like that
