Motorola announced a partnership with #GrapheneOS Foundation:

https://motorolanews.com/motorola-three-new-b2b-solutions-at-mwc-2026/ (thanks @llas for the pointer).

Great to see that you will be able to buy a new phone with a #FreeSoftware #OpenSource #Android ROM pre-installed from such a big brand.

All the best to @GrapheneOS for the next steps in this! #FreeYourAndroid

@llas People pointed out that it is not clear from the announcement if you could buy Motorola phones with pre-installed #GrapheneOS or if they Motorola just supports it and takes some patches.

Maybe @GrapheneOS can shed some light on this?

@MinistryOfGoodIdeas This is really disappointing from @GrapheneOS because of all the #manufacturers, #Motorola literally fights #EU standards for #LongTermSupport of #firmware with tooth and nail...

• Like all their arguments against #Fairphone apply to Motorola too, if not harder!
  • Cuz I sincerely doubt Motorola will do even half of their "#security" demands and is even worse #AntiRepairDesign than #Google's garbage devices!

I guess #GrapheneOS need an #EgoCheck and instead #LineageOS and other #ROM|s really need to up their game...

• As for me, I don't trust any mobile phone - period!
  • And that won't change until I either get the entire #schematics and #reproduceable #firmware builds WITH the entire #SourceCode...

I trust @GrapheneOS but Motorola's 'operational insights' worries me...

@GrapheneOS

very cool news!💙

i'm shopping for my next phone & looking for an OS OS - Open Source Operating System. The article doesn't mention when the GrapheneOS Motorola phones come out
When will they be on the market?

i have the incredible LG ThinQ Dual Screen (technically tri-screen) which is hands down the coolest phone EVER, but LG stopped making phones

i'd like to see the foldable #Motorola in #GrapheneOS

Congratulations on the partnership. I am worried about #Motorola being a #China -based company, though... they're known for inserting spyware. This would be a great opportunity for China to insert spyware in supposedly secure phones.
Nonetheless, I'm excited to see #GrapheneOS increase in relevance. I hope they go far.

> Motorola and the GrapheneOS Foundation will work to strengthen smartphone security and collaborate on future devices engineered with GrapheneOS compatibility.

This could be a gamechanger. Congratulations to @GrapheneOS, fingers crossed this works out well!

#InfoSec #GrapheneOS

Motorola und #GrapheneOS tun sich zusammen. Was zunächst wie eine Randnotiz klingt, ist tatsächlich ein bemerkenswerter Schritt: Das bisher Pixel-exklusive, gehärtete Android soll künftig auch auf Motorola-Hardware laufen.

Wer digitale Selbstbestimmung ernst nimmt, braucht Alternativen. GrapheneOS ist eine davon – mit Sandbox für Google-Dienste und ohne den üblichen Datenhunger. Noch dazu hochsicher und datenschutzfreundlich.
