GrapheneOS' cause is only theirs. They don't share with the ecosystem
yay!
i wish they released mid-range phones
I'm actually kind of excited about this, despite it meaning my next phone is going to be more expensive than I want (or can really handle, so I'll start saving now.)
I figured this would be the case, too, for the exact reason stated in the article, the Moto G devices aren't secure enough.
BUT why I'm excited is usually Moto's flagship phones have expandable storage!!! I want nothing more from a phone than a grapheneOS phone with a microSD! I'm still mad at the cell phone market for killing expandable storage. Now if I could just convince them to give me two USB-C ports so I don't have to wear my charge port to use wired headphones...
I took micro SD for granted! I miss being able to just pop a card in and upgrade.
Please Motorola, please make something like Pixel 4a sized or iPhone SE / 8.
"priced higher than"
Don't care. GIMME GIMME GIMME.
The upcoming Moto devices won’t ship with GrapheneOS, but they will be fully supported by the project with help from Moto itself.
Doesn't unlocking the bootloader on a Motorola device void the warranty?
