@Revan_9766@mastodon.social The initial devices with GrapheneOS support should be available in 2027. The initial devices will be flagships so they'll be higher end hardware than Pixels at a higher price. Lower end devices will take more time to meet our requirements since the updates and security features aren't as good. It's mostly due to how Qualcomm handles it. The latest Snapdragon flagships have the best security features. We'll also need Motorola to start paying them for longer updates below flagships.
Early adopter here. I am here to tell you that your assumption is wrong. I will happily pay a higher price than for a same-spec pixel and even help with the development in my free time. Most important precondition is that it holds everything up to the highest possible standards. Good things cost, that’s how the system works. And good things are scarce …
First versions are almost never good. And even if it was by some miracle, the only high standard is security and privacy here. In all other ways it will be worse than Samsung, Google, Apple, and I am not even going to name chinese phones. So I hope I am wrong, but if I am not, I hope they survive long enough to produce something not only die hard fans will buy.
It’s not a first for Motorola, neither for Graphene devs. We’ll see how they’ll perform! There is always the last resort of just dumping the "smart"phone alltogether.
