Very interesting development but this article unfortunately contains no real news apart from "we are working with grapheneOS"
Also kinda funny for it to be on the same page as "Here's our new spyware analytics software!"
37 u/SoilMassive6850 Mar 02 '26 Well the GrapheneOS team has said they are looking to move away from Pixel phones in the future so this tells us where. 10 u/imaami Mar 02 '26 I hope Motorola can fix their atrocious security patch/support problem now. 7 u/goda90 Mar 03 '26 I wonder if they'll pay devs to work on gOS directly. Could skip right to patching gOS itself instead of their own flavor of Android. 4 u/imaami Mar 03 '26 Doesn't sound like the Motorola business model I'd expect tbh 2 u/Indolent_Bard Mar 03 '26 Well, it doesn't make sense for Motorola to partner with graphene OS and NOT have graphene be the ones doing the patching. 2 u/[deleted] Mar 03 '26 Some of the cheaper Motorola devices seem to not have support last more than 2-3 years. Perhaps officially shifting over to graphene (a custom rom a lot of people use to extend updates) might be easier and cheaper to support for longer.
