With the number of countries trying to crack down on privacy-focused phone OSs, I’m a little worried Motorola may get cold feet after talking to its lawyers. Has Motorola made any public statement promising these phones are coming?
Just presume it contains spyware my dude. Even if the company had the best intentions they’d just get infiltrated by private and state spies. But Motorola is literally run by the likes of the NSA, CIA and that it isn’t a secret they are a US military infrastructure provider. They got so ingrained in the military that they had to split the company up but same same.

You’re thinking of Motorola Solutions. It and Motorola Mobility, the smartphone company, haven’t been related since 2011. The latter was spun off of the original Motorola as a completely different company over 15 years ago, and at this point is wholly owned subsidiary of Lenovo. The two may share a name, but that’s about it.
Motorola Solutions is the publicly-traded “true successor” to the original Motorola conglomerate, while Motorola Mobility is nothing more than an LLC underneath a much larger umbrella that is Lenovo and it’s own Chinese parent holding company.

Agreed. As desperate as I am for a genuine OEM GrapheneOS phone, I won’t believe it until it actually happens.
Correct take. Corps only care about money and reputation.

Yea but same same.
“They are two separate companies but same same”
Yeah, okay…
Yep same same with any other big tech firm.
