We need CHEAPER GrapheneOS phones, not more expensive!
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
I guess Im the only one who would prefer cheaper phones. Midrange with a jack is far more appealing to me than some flagship.
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
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.
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. :/
Exactly. They need to make it cheaper so it becomes popular first, not prepare us for shocking price.
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.
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 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?
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.
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
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…
Yeah I like that
Good news
