Completely wrong target for GrapheneOS. The GrapheneOS demographics, which I belong to, isn't interested in high-end phones. They want a no nonsense simple phone with lots of storage and security first design.

  • fancy AMOLED screen: don't care
  • 5 fancy cameras: don't care
  • super powerful CPU and GPU: don't care
  • storage space: yes please, I have photos and music to store locally!

This will be harmful to GrapheneOS project. It will go like this: no one buys the phone because it's too damn expensive and full of features the privacy nerds like me don't care about. Even fewer buy the phone with GrapheneOS pre-installed and it's a total flop. Motorola stops the partnership saying "we did it and no one wanted it". No other OEM wants to partner with GrapheneOS after that.

I'm expecting they will launch cheaper models too

I sure hope so. If they release something around the 500€ price range, I would definitely be more interested.

Gotta really wring the juice out of early adopters.
