Motorola's 2027 Flagships Will Officially Support GrapheneOS (gsmarena.com)

(Tuesday August 25, 2026 @11:00AM (BeauHD) from the going-mainstream dept.)


Motorola is [1]working with GrapheneOS to [2]officially support the privacy-focused Android alternative on its 2027 flagship phones , starting with a non-folding model and later expanding to the next Razr Fold and Razr Ultra. "These will ship with Motorola's normal Android skin, but you will be able to switch to GrapheneOS later if you want to," notes GSMArena.com. GrapheneOS says the devices will "meet or exceed" its hardware and update requirements, and will include seven years of "proper updates." Interestingly, Motorola will be doing much of the porting work itself.

This is Motorola looking for new markets in mid- to upper range phones. It's not the dumbest move to go after opinion leaders that know what GrapheneOS is and how to install it. Good for reputation too.

Anything that uses the device integrity / attestation services of Play won't work - banking apps, digital keys, government apps, crypto wallets, transit / ticketing apps etc.
